Server Relocation Complete
eMediaTRADE completed our server relocation last weekend and all our systems were back online by Saturday June 9 at 3:00am.
Please note that if you normally send or receive files to an account on our FTP server, the server address should be listed as emediatrade.net. Some partners could not access their FTP accounts this week because they were using our old IP address. If you cannot login to FTP please check to make sure the site is listed as emediatrade.net (preferred) or 208.52.133.98.
Server Relocation Update
The dates for our server relocation have changed. So, from Friday June 8 at 9:00 pm eastern - Monday June 11 at 9:00 am eastern all EMT services, servers and products (including FTP) will be unavailable due to a planned relocation of our servers.

Server Relocation
To all eMediaTRADE and Texscan customers:
EMT is planning to relocate our server infrastructure to a Tier III hosting facility in Atlanta. This move has been planned for some time and we have set a date of Friday, June 8 2012 at 90:00pm Eastern to begin the move. This means that all EMT services, servers and products will be unavailable during the relocation. We anticipate having all services online and available by 9:00am on Monday, June 11.
This move will provide EMT with an advanced infrastructure for operational stability and high availability now, will give us room for expanding our current services, and will allow us to offer new products and services in the future. For those interested in the details of our new facility I have provided them below.
Thank you for being an eMediaTRADE customer!
