Title: Delays to the site this weekend
Post by: Farjo on 31 August 2012, 03:14:51 pm

Just got this from our web host:

What:
Maintenance to the network switches which connect each rack of servers to our network. Outages of 30 minutes or less are expected but there will be an higher than normal risk of additional downtime during the scheduled work due to the significant changes involved.
 
Why:
To increase network capacity and throughput to all servers for future customer demand. We are also migrating away from Cisco to Juniper hardware in order to limit all network equipment to a single manufcaturer, allowing the use of the Juniper Junos operating system.
 
When:
Saturday 1st September 2012 starting at 9:00 to 14:00
Sunday 2nd September 2012 starting at 12:00 to 16:00
