[IP Voice Services] Maintenance window 2nd August 2016
Posted by Adrian Williams on 01 August 2016 10:52 AM
Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled on Tuesday 2nd August to IP Voice Services.

Date: Tuesday 2nd August 2016
Start time: 0000 BST
End time: 0300 BST

Purpose:

Our vendor datacentre engineering team will be carrying out maintenance to address the root cause for the recent power outage in our Telecity POP. This work will revolve around alternating power feeds and replacing defective parts. We have been advised that this will not cause us any issues, but we will be monitoring the situation and have set the risk to high, as there would be significant impact should the work not go as planned.


Services Affected:

IP Voice Services


Impact:

High

The redundancy that is in place will be reduced whilst the changes are executed. As the systems involved in these changes are fundamental core elements, but there is no impact to service expected.

The Engineering team will be closely monitoring all systems and services to ensure any disruption is as brief as possible

Comtec is tracking this issue under ticket MLZ-171-49200.
