Dallas network maintenance – 22 January

The Dallas data centre will be performing a major network upgrade on Sunday, 22 January.

A brand new network is waiting for us at the TierPoint Dallas data centre. The new network offers:

  • DDoS cloud protection
  • New and improved power backup
  • Faster network ports
  • An overall sweeter experience

The upgrade involves physically moving all servers to new cabinets. We are taking prudent steps with additional backups.

Maintenance window:
2017/01/22 14:00 to 18:00 SAST
2017/01/22 12:00 to 16:00 GMT
2017/01/22 07:00 to 11:00 EDT
2017/01/22 04:00 to 08:00 PDT

Server downtime is expected to be less than one hour.

Update Sunday 16:00
This maintenance was completed as planned and with no significant problem.
