We keep visits to a minimum at the \u201cLights Out Mode\u201d main 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
These upgrades include software and hardware updates to give Network Presence a \u201cleg up\u201d in capacity, including memory, CPU & network upgrades. For example, I\u2019ll be installing and commissioning upgraded Routers & Switches to the POP, which will result in more 10Gb Ethernet network connections for server and storage interconnects, as well as physical diverse network connectivity in Sydney and more Virtualisation Hosting Servers.<\/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 the evening of Friday February 1st, 2013. Each customer is not expected to see more 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.
\nAll works that evening will be completed by 4-5am on Saturday, February 2nd 2013 Sydney\/Australia time.<\/p>\n
