To reduce the risk of extended downtime in the event of a major power issue at the data centre, we have decided to upgrade our power distribution units to enable us to better control the load and also control the sequence that servers and network equipment boots up.

This upgrade will be taking place on Wednesday 16th Feb at around 01:00.

Due to the nature of this work, we will need to shutdown all equipment and reconnect it to the new setup. We do not anticipate downtime to be longer than 30 minutes, however we are allowing a longer maintenance window to allow for any complications with individual equipment while booting up.
