Network Maintenance

The data center has informed us of scheduled network maintenance on Saturday, February 3rd at 3AM EST (8am GMT). The maintenance window will be from 3AM until 7AM EST during which time they will be adding further redundancy to the network, enabling additional GIGE links and making final changes to the CORE / AGG/ GAR Routers. The initial estimated downtime will be approximately 30 minutes, followed by individual network segments of 30 minutes each.

In addition to this, the main power to the building / facility is being worked on at 7AM EST on the 3rd as well. No ETA for completion or repairs is being provided, however they will be transferring over to UPS / Generator power prior to the power being worked on. In preparing for this we have also required our UPS and generator maintenance personnel to inspect all equipment during this week, fully testing all batteries, replacing full batteries on one of the UPS’s and certifying all equipment are operating to properly capacity. Though we expect no glitches with this maintenance matter, precautionary measures are being taken to ensure everything is prepared before hand as well as requiring all staff members to be available for any unexpected matters which could arise.

We do not anticipate these issues arising, we will be fully monitoring all aspects of the upgrades during that time specifically to watch for these issues. Many thanks for your attention to this matter!
