We have received the following email from our network provider. This will cause a small outage of approximately 2 minutes while the work is being completed.

As part of our long term commitment to continually raising the level of hosting service that we provide you with, we are undertaking a major capital investment programme to improve and upgrade our entire network.

The net result of this programme will be a network with greater capacity and redundancy, complete with a ‘future proofing’ capability enabling us to offer you new services like IPv6 and MPLS in the very near future.

We planned to implement this upgrade in two phases, and the first phase was completed on 1st December 2011. We are now ready to implement phase two of the upgrade which involves the migration of the rack uplinks to the new network segments. The second phase is scheduled to start on 29/03/2012 at 23:00 and complete on 30/03/2012 at 06:00 am GMT. This will cause a short period of connectivity interruption of less than two minutes.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope that you’ll appreciate that we are undertaking this action to ensure that we can continue to provide you with the best hosting service available.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or questions concerning this notification.
