Server downtime

Post by Ash2Dust »

This will affect our NY server and our TS server.
Maintenance rescheduled to 8/17
Aug 15 2012 01:30:43 PM PT

FedEx has informed us that the equipment we shipped to NYC will not be delivered until tomorrow due to a delay on their end. We are rescheduling our maintenance to 8/17, again between 3am and 5am EDT.



Connection upgrade early 8/16, with some downtime
Aug 15 2012 01:16:46 PM PT

InterNAP notified us that the new crossconnects are in place to support our upgrade to dual 10GE feeds in New York. In response, we shipped a new router to NYC for delivery today and we are scheduling work to occur between 3am and 5am EDT tomorrow, August 16, in order to install that router and then switch over to the new configuration. With the upgrade to 20,000 Mbps of capacity at this location, and the new router, we will be much better able to respond to large DDoS attacks.

During the maintenance window, you should see a period of connectivity loss, lasting between 5 and 30 minutes -- we are doing as much testing as we can ahead of this, in order to try to keep it to a minimum. During the period, your service will continue running, but it will be disconnected from the internet, and you won't be able to manipulate it through your control panel.
