Data Centre, Network & POP Maintenance Notice – Thu evening & Fri morning, November 6th/7th 2014

During the evening of Thursday, November 6th from 11pm that night (through to 7am on Friday morning) we will be performing upgrades to network infrastructure (routers, switches & other network-based infrastructure) and selected hosting server platforms of Network Presence in Sydney, Australia.

Customers with services (VPS) on the platforms to be upgraded will be emailed advisory notices shortly, and this is a general notice related to other ancillary upgrades and Infrastructure Maintenance being performed during this scheduled window of time.

This Maintenance Window starts from 11pm Sydney time on the evening of Thursday November 6th, 2014 through to 7am on the Friday morning, and I’ll be personally contactable by phone & online during and after these works incase there’s any issues that arise. During this Maintenance Window, selected network or server equipment will be worked on and restarted. Works will be completed as quickly as possible (timing information will be in emails to affected customers) and restarts are short service interruptions only.

This will incur outages to selected hosting services of Network Presence in Australia during this off-peak scheduled works period.
Minimal to no impact is expected to the general Internet Connectivity of Network Presence during these works.

Our Engineers will be remaining on-site during Friday at our Sydney Data Centre to quickly attend to any issues post-upgrades which may arise.

FYI and regards,
Richard.
