Equinix Metal to two smaller, globallydistributed clusters. Equinix Metal is sunsetting later this year, soEquinix Metal — originally Packet — hosted the NTP Pool’s centralinfrastructure for almost seven years. The web application, databases,DNS zone building, monitoring pipelines, observability, development andbeta environments all ran there. It was the backbone that kept theentire pool management system running.The relationship started with Packet, whose team [went out of theirway](https://news.ntppool.org/2019/09/packet/) to help during an emergency migration in 2019.Equinix continued that same level of support after acquiring Packet.Their generosity made it possible for a volunteer-run project to operateinfrastructure at a scale that would otherwise be out of reach. We wouldgladly have stayed — Equinix Metal was an excellent home for the#### NTP Pool Monitoring v4The NTP Pool is upgrading its monitoring system to support more monitorsand provide better coverage for all servers. The current monitoringsystem (v2) supports a smaller number of monitors with just “active” and“testing” states. The new monitoring system (v4) can support many moremonitors, makes them easier to provision and operate, and introduces anew “candidate” state for better resource management.### Key Improvements in v4* **Expanded capacity**: Support for significantly more monitoring nodes worldwide* **Better coverage**: Enhanced geographic distribution and network diversity* **New candidate state**: Improves resource allocation and provides backup monitoring coverage* **Easier operations**: Simplified setup and management for monitor operatorsWith the new monitoring infrastructure, we’ll have a world-class globallydistributed monitoring system to match the unparalleled NTP service. Themonitoring system will better test local conditions across the world andThe same call, in code.
