The transfer of Voyant Tools user data to new server infrastructure is still underway. With multiple terabytes of data and millions of files involved, the migration has taken longer than originally expected, but the process is now approximately 75% complete.
Hero image: Voyant Tools server migration at 75% completionWhy is the migration necessary?
The server infrastructure currently hosting Voyant Tools is being shut down. As a result, all stored user data must be transferred to new server infrastructure so that Voyant Tools can continue operating. This is not a small migration. The stored data runs into multiple terabytes, and the underlying structure includes millions of individual files. That combination has made the transfer more complex and time-consuming than originally anticipated.
Voyant is still available through mirror sites
While the main migration continues, users can still work with Voyant Tools through the following mirrors:
LINCS Mirror
An alternative Voyant Tools instance that can be used while the migration is in progress.
Beta Mirror
A second mirror that is also available for users who need access to Voyant Tools.
