AU Firewall (Network) Maintenance - 22/Aug/2011 - 11PM -> 5AM +10

[Aaron]

In order to continue providing our same high level of service we will be migrating our firewalls to the new Equinix SY3 datacenter. This is part of the planned Data Center migration as detailed here, Announcement: Announcement: Upcoming Infrastructure Improvements

MAINTENANCE WINDOW: Monday 22nd August 2011 11:00PM -> 23/Aug/2011 5:00AM AEST
EXPECTED OUTAGE/DOWNTIME: Multiple periods of complete loss of connectivity lasting up to 30 minutes each. Though we have planned for much shorter periods.
REASON FOR MAINTENANCE: Physical migration of our redundant firewalls from Equinix SY2 to the new Equinix SY3 facility. One firewall will be migrated at a time so as to minimise downtime to our network, with only small outages expected while connectivity is failed over between the firewalls.
SERVICES IMPACTED: During the maintenance window your hosting service may not be accessible from the internet. If you receive an email regarding this maintenance you are effected.
OTHER NOTES: During this time, our Support Desk (http://support.crucialp.com) will be available should you still need to liaise with our Support staff.

Any Customers that are running trading applications on their VPS Service's such as Meta Trader should halt all trading prior to this maintenance window starting. You may re-instate your trading once you have full access to your service after the maintenance window has completed.

If you have any feedback regarding this notice, please email feedback@crucial.com.au

Please accept on sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

After this is there any more work that will cause disruptions caused by the data centre move?

There will be likely one more after this which will involve migrating our transit providers from the Equinix SY2 to SY3 facility.
