From Eric Winter, Head of Rivals.com:
"Hey everyone,
Last night's system upgrade was a success (12 new databases, 100 new servers and a new network). Tonight Rivals is conducting systems test of everything during a timeframe that shows the least amount of user impact.
Beginning at 2 a.m. ET and ending at 5 a.m. ET Rivals users may notice Slow Performance,Disabled Features and Brief Site Outages throughout this 3 hour period.
Rivals is running a series of Load Test to see how the new systems will handle NSD 2015 (replicating millions of concurrent users on our messages boards, etc).
Thank you for your patience ..."
