All the interconnected services and databases that collectively provide you with Second Life have been migrated to Amazon’s cloud servers. The 'uplift' to the cloud will help bring better simulator performance and also improves our ability to diagnose problems and scale our systems for future growth and improvements.
Here’s a peek at the former cage in our colocation facility that housed our servers since 2009, now cleaned out and completely empty.
- Well, 2021 has begun, and in case you were hoping that it might turn out better than 2020, we’re off to a bad start. Multiple European countries have re-imposed lockdowns, central banks are still printing money non-stop, and this “vaccine rollout” doesn’t seem to be going so well.
- For 2021, it’s getting slimmer, with the thickness of the TV cut by 50-percent. It’s now 24.9 mm thick, closer still to the picture frame that Samsung based the design on.
- Nibiru Update 2021 - Visible this year There are presently nine known planets in the solar system. It is possible that a tenth planet, referred to as “Planet X,” exists and is waiting to be discovered.

Many have asked us what happened to the “old” hardware that steadily served up Second Life for so many years. Most of it was too old to have any value and has been scrapped, but it is important to note that as part of our standard security protocols, all of the drives have been shredded and destroyed. Thanks for all the memories, old friends!
2021 Updates
While the physical move is complete, there remain some optimization tweaks that we will continue to make to further improve performance over the coming weeks, and of course there are always bugs to hunt. We are truly grateful for your patience, especially during the final few weeks of 2020 as we worked furiously to finish the last parts of this migration.

OTHER COMPANY NEWS
Another noteworthy development for the new year is that Linden Lab has new owners! As announced in mid-2020, an investment group led by Randy Waterfield and Brad Oberwager signed an agreement to acquire the company subject to regulatory approval by financial regulators in the U.S. related to Tilia Inc.’s status as a licensed money transmitter as well as other customary closing conditions. We are pleased to share that the regulatory review has been completed and Linden Lab is now under new ownership.
While the owners may be new, things are “business as usual” in Second Life. Last year saw strong growth for our virtual world and, as a result of this acquisition we expect even more resources in 2021 to further improve and grow Second Life in the future.
Happy New Year!
