Golden Image for eLink Lite servers

We have now added and successfully tested a new level of support for our eLink Lite servers. This is a useful bit of functionality that comes with our Cloud hosting called a 'golden image'. At least that's what it is called by our hosts Flexiscale. What we have done is taken a working eLink server (one with all the services configured and running and with links through to client databases) and taken an exact copy of the whole server, a software snapshot you might say.

This enables us to create an instant working eLink server at the flick of a switch, meaning we can add extra servers to cope with peak loads incredibly quickly. It also means that if there is a problem with a particular server we can now replace it almost instantly with one we know works, speeding up recovery times immensely.
