We are carrying out a maintenance window on Saturday the 10th March 2007.
This will involve a complete relocation of half of our UK network. We migrated the first half in October 2006, and this is the second and final stage in the migration.
Unfortunately the downtime period will be several hours, the servers will be powered down for 2 hours to allow them to cool, then be packed and physically moved to the new location, where they will be re-installed and powered back up. The physical distance is only a matter of a few miles.
This only effects UK services, the US network will remain un-effected.
The period of downtime is estimated to be between 3-5 hours, during this time all services will be unavailable (Mail/Web).
The relocation will be done as quickly as possible but the cooling down period is required to ensure the change of ambient temperature does not damage the equipment.
