AU Network Maintenance - 28/Aug/2011 11:00PM -> 03:00AM +10 GMT AEST

[Aaron]

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

MAINTENANCE WINDOW: Sunday 28th August 2011 11:00PM -> 29/Aug/2011 3:00AM AEST
EXPECTED OUTAGE/DOWNTIME: Multiple periods of complete loss of connectivity lasting up to 20 minutes each. Though we have planned for much shorter periods.
REASON FOR MAINTENANCE: Physical migration of our carrier (ISP) cross connects from Equinix SY2 to the new Equinix SY3 facility. One cross connect 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 connections. During this time some BGP changes will also be made to further increase the resilience of our network.
SERVICES IMPACTED: During the maintenance window your hosting service may not be accessible from the internet.
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.
