[Core Network] Maintenance window 18th November 2017
Posted by David Croft on 25 October 2017 03:51 PM |
Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled at our Equinix LD8 (formerly Telecity HEX 6-7) (LNPOP02) site: Start date: Saturday, 18th November 2017 Start time: 14:00 GMT (UTC+0000) End time: 23:59 GMT (UTC+0000) Purpose: We will be installing additional equipment to increase capacity at our Equinix LD8 (LNPOP02) site. We will be performing router upgrades and applying security updates commencing from 20:00. Services affected: All services hosted in or single-homed out of Equinix LD8 (LNPOP02) including Cloud Ethernet circuits single-homed to this location. Services at other sites will not be affected. Impact: MEDIUM/HIGH. Single-homed Cloud Ethernet customers will suffer a brief outage (maximum 15 minutes) during this window while the device they are connected to is upgraded. In the event a roll-back is required, a further outage of similar duration will occur. This service-affecting work will not commence prior to 20:00. For work prior to 20:00, and for other services, this is an "at-risk" notification only and no impact to service is expected. Our engineering team will be monitoring all services and circuits closely and if any outage is experienced, it is expected to be very brief. Comtec NOC is tracking this issue under ticket [#IOW-305-35732]. Regards, David Croft Read more » | |

Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled at our Telehouse East (LNPOP01) site: Start date: Friday, 17th November 2017 Start time: 19:00 GMT (UTC+0000) End time: 23:59 GMT (UTC+0000) Purpose: We will be performing router upgrades and applying security updates. Services affected: None directly. Impact: LOW. This site is a network PoP and does not directly serve customers. The site will be taken out of service prior to work commencing and the network will operate with reduced resiliency. We are therefore expecting no operational impact from this work.
