We keep visits to a minimum at the \u201cLights Out Mode\u201d data centre POP of Network Presence in Sydney, but we want to deploy new hardware and software to this main POP and this work requires us to physically attend the Data Centre (Equinix in Sydney) to perform actions which are highly technical & specific to the hardware and systems of Network Presence.<\/p>\n
Some upgrades include software and hardware upgrades to give Network Presence a \u201cleg up\u201d in capacity, including memory, CPU & network upgrades. For example, I\u2019ll be installing and commissioning upgraded Cisco Routers to the POP, as well as a switching upgrade, which will result in a 10Gb Ethernet network for primary server and storage interconnects.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, I\u2019ll be emailing all customers who may be affected by the short restarts etc that will occur during this Maintenance Window, which starts from ~10pm Sydney time on this coming Tuesday evening (April 17th 2012). Each customer is not expected to see longer than a few short outages (during the evening) of connectivity to or operation of their VPS or other service from Network Presence, and I\u2019ll be contactable by phone & online during and after these works incase there\u2019s any issues that arise.<\/p>\n
