Our monitoring systems have detected problems with a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) that supplies critical load to the network access switch which in turn provides connectivity to server12.simplewebserver.co.uk.

Although load is currently being sustained, the intelligent management of this unit is impaired and it is likely that in the near future this may become service affecting.

Due to this, we are scheduling maintenance to replace this unit. During this maintenance it will be necessary to power down the network switch for duration of the replacement process.

Our apologies for the inconvenience caused by this work, however please be assured it is necessary to complete.

Due to this working involving the powering down of hardware, please take time to ensure you have complete backups of your data stored in an off-server location.

This notice is for planned maintenance on our network during the period outlined below. The work forms the initial stages of network upgrades.

START: 2012-08-22 00:01 BST (GMT+1) END: 2012-08-22 02:00 BST (GMT+1)

EXPECTED IMPACT: Less than 30 second loss of network connectivity

This work will significantly expand our external connectivity and internal backhaul network using multiple 10Gbps (Gigabit per second) links as well as laying groundwork for the deployment of IPv6 services. Moving to a 10Gbps core network ensures we continue meet and exceed the demands of the latest high-bandwidth applications and broadband services.

During the above period will be undertaking maintenance to implement physical topology changes in preparation for further planned network upgrade work. As part of this work there will be a very short outage for each customer service, anticipated to be less than 30 seconds.
