Twitter Migrates Data Center to Permanent Nest - No More Fail Whale?

If you had some kind of twisted love for seeing the Fail Whale, you’ll probably be disappointed with this news: Twitter has completed its migration into a custom-built data center that should be able to meet the needs of its explosive growth and demands on its servers.

In a blog post Monday, the Twitter Engineering Team announced that they had successfully moved Twitter’s data center to a new, and more permanent, home.

Anyone who has been on Twitter for a few months or years will know that, while the service has a lot to offer in terms of socially-produced content, it wasn’t always the best at avoiding downtime.
