[Core Network] Maintenance window 4th-15th August 2014
Posted by David Croft on 22 July 2014 11:09 AM
Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled at our
Telecity HEX6-7 (LNPOP02) site:

Start date: Monday, 4th August 2014
Start time: 08:00 BST (UTC+0100)
End date: Friday, 15th August 2014
End time: 17:00 BST (UTC+0100)

Purpose:

The data centre will be performing maintenance on their UPS systems.

Services affected:

All services hosted in or single-homed out of Telecity HEX6-7 (LNPOP02).

Impact:

Low.

TelecityGroup will be carrying out maintenance works on the
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems at 6/7 Harbour Exchange
from 4th to 15th August 2014 between 08:00 and
17:00 (BST) as part of their planned preventative maintenance programme.

The works will involve isolating the UPS units one at a time to allow
the servicing and testing of all UPS modules and associated batteries.
Each unit will be reinstated before work on the next unit commences.
During this maintenance window there will be a reduced level of
resilience, however we do not anticipate any impact to your services.

Our engineering team will be monitoring the power supply systems at
all times throughout these works.

[Core Network] Service Alert 17th July 2014 - Update 2
Posted by David Croft on 17 July 2014 02:39 PM
This is an incident notification regarding our core network at
Interxion LON1 (Site CLBIS02).

Date: Monday, 9th June 2014
Start time: 13:54
End time: 14:18

Services affected:

Core Network
Services single-homed out of Interxion LON1 (CLBIS02).

Report:

We observed a large increase in temperature over a short time window.
The data centre dispatched engineers to investigate and the
temperature quickly dropped again.

A service alert was issued at 14:08 to warn customers of the
possibility of a short-notice shutdown to prevent equipment damage.
However, no shutdown was necessary and no services were impacted.

The probable cause appears to have been other customers working nearby
placing equipment in front of our rack and blocking airflow.

We have asked the data centre to install additional ventilation floor
tiles in front of our rack to prevent this issue happening again and
will follow up to ensure that this work is completed.

This is the final update.
