The BMW CCA IT Staff has been working on website performance enhancements that will be implemented on Thursday, September 18 and Friday, September 19. The performance increases include moving our membership database to a new datacenter on Thursday, and an increase to the webserver's specifications on Friday.
The Good News
We expect these changes to increase the speed and reliability of the website.
The Bad news
These enhancements require a brief downtime while they are moved into production. We do not anticipate that they will require more than two hours of downtime.
