Planned Datacentre work/downtime
To enable essential maintenance work to be completed at the data centre there will be an outage of approximately 1 hour between 07:00 and 08:00 on Tuesday 2nd January 2007. We anticipate that the downtime will be less than the declared 1 hour window but as a precaution we are declaring an ‘at risk’ window between 06:55 and 09:00 where access to services may be intermittent.
This planned downtime will enable us to complete a number of essential maintenance tasks and in addition will provide the opportunity to introduce additional Dell Poweredge servers in to the server farm and network switches.
This work will impact upon all services except Dialup and Broadband Internet access as they are provisioned seperately.
Most of the work has been completed as scheduled, although present not all web services are back online. We are working to complete the work as soon as possible.
All work has now been completed and running without any issues since 08.29 this morning.
