Hello,

I see that the extra RAM has been ordered.

An additional reminder that the physical migrations will happen on
12/12. You should send out any needed outage notices and make any
additional preparations ASAP. You can expect up to 48 hours of downtime
on 12/12 and 12/13. I will send more details out to you early next week.

Regards,
Jonathan
