Planned Outages

Please see below notice of an upcoming scheduled maintenance.

Maintenance work will be carried out between the 12th and 15th January 2012, in order to replace our end-of-life HP Core Network Equipment to Cisco Network Equipment with support for IPv6 and expand our Datacentre Presence to allow for new services to come online during 2012.

During this maintenance period we will endeavour to keep any service interruptions to a minimum. There should not be any interruption to service on Thursday and Friday, but due to the nature of the work please consider services to be 'at risk' during these two days. The core work will be carried out off-peak during Saturday and Sunday, while outages will be kept to a minimum some services may become unavailable for a 5 to 15 minute period.

IPv6 is the Internet Protocol that will eventually replace the present IPv4 Internet Protocol. It is important that we begin upgrading our network to support IPv6 and offer IPv6 services as Regional Internet Registries will begin to run out of the older IPv4 Addresses by the end of this year. More information on IPv6 can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

We are sorry for the inconvenience that this essential work may cause.
