As of Friday March 2nd Media Temple will begin to run an upgraded version of the Grid hosting service. Version 1.2 (GMR v.1.2) is the latest improvement to the Grid, the most significant being the use of MySQL Grid containers, or private MySQL containers for each account. Other improvements coming to this $20 a month service are more processing power (now over 800 cores), better email, improved FTP, faster storage performance, higher network speed, and more. Overall the upgrade should greatly improve the hosting experience, not just through better serving, but also through better back-end performance and improved controls. As for future upgrades, MT had this to say: "GMR (v.1.3) is already in development and its release cycle is expected to be much shorter than (GMR v1.1) to (GMR v1.2)." Great news...
