Backend Work

To make my Greek nature happy, I have this question:
For a General MMO server or mega server:
1) In detail, what type of "backed work" do they on maintenance days?
2) What type of database work and / or hardware work (replace / add HD's, ram, server clusters, etc)?
Would get the most detail as we can get or use another MMO as general reference how they do it.

✭✭Never seen any enterprise-level company disclosing this kind of information with any level of detail, since it's way too sensitive, both business- and security-wise. Take a look at the server racks in the picture in the last Road Ahead article -- they don't even show the fronts of the big irons, lest someone get's lucky guessing the brand of hardware they're using. Business secrets are only secrets as long as they stay secret...Edited by KhajitFurTrader on June 26, 2014 3:44PM0 -

✭Yeah, I know that ZOS will never tell us how they megaserver works, but they must learn it from a text book somewhere. That text book might gives us an general idea how a "mega server" might work or a server farm like in data center.0 -

✭Can we stay on topic please? I will hate to start reporting people for jokes like yours on a real topic. ThanksEdited by k9mouse on June 26, 2014 3:53PM0 -

You might want to take a look at the blog Inside the Magic Shop, then. Especially this article. Any similarities to actually existing MMOs are purely coincidental.
