Data Centre & POP Maintenance Notice – Tues evening & Wed morning, Jan 28th/29th 2014

During the evening of Tuesday January 28th from 11pm that night (through to 6am on Wednesday 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 Tuesday January 28th, 2014 through to 6am on the Wednesday morning, and I’ll be personally contactable by phone & online during and after these works incase there’s any issues that arise.

This will incur a few (3-4) short (~5-10 minute) outages to the network connectivity and hosting services of Network Presence in Australia during this off-peak scheduled works period.

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

FYI and regards,
Richard.

Helping customers wrt DNS Amplification DDOS Attacks

There’s been a new wave of these Name Server exploits to cause global “DNS Amplification” DDOS Attacks and some customers are asking for information and help in stopping their Name Servers being utilised for this undesirable network activity.

We’re available to help any Network Presence customer in checking and stopping any Name Server they may run within Network Presence, so customers please feel free to contact us to do this on your VPS or Colo service.

Generally there’s no charge for this to customers, as we’re glad to see updated and well configured Name Servers within our network.

I’ll post more information about this exploit and how to check and close it on the Bind open-source Name Server shortly.

Regards,
Richard.
