Core Network Planned Maintenance 27/08/09 Midnight -1am Affecting Internet Transit
August 22nd, 2009 No comments »Maintenance Window:
27/08/09 00.00 (Midnight) -1am
Reason:
Reconfiguration of Internet Transit BGP Peering Sessions
Expected Downtime:
BGP Sessions will be restarted during this maintenance window, therefore customers may experience some minor disruption to Internet Transit while traffic is re-routed. However, due to the nature of this work we would consider the service to be AT RISK during this time period.
If you would like to discuss this planned maintenance, please contact Technical Support

Planned System Maintainence – Friday 03/07/2009 10.30pm
June 29th, 2009 No comments »Scheduled date and time: July 3th, 2008 10:30PM – 01:00AM GMT
Maintenance Duration: up to 30 in per service
System(s) Affected: All Web, Exchange Services, Control Panel, Blackberry, SharePoint
Expected Impact: Working with Dell we have identified a faulty software driver that poses a high risk of causing down time for customers. To prevent this during the maintenance window tonight we will be updating all affected servers. This will result in short down times for each individual server of not more than 30 minutes each. You will see different services down at different times during the maintenance window. No data will be lost and all incoming mail will be queued until the maintenance is complete.
Action required: None
