Two new 75kVA uninterruptible power supplies are being brought online by our data center partner requiring our servers and networking equipment to be migrated from their old power source to their new, upgraded power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The data center has scheduled a maintenance window on Thursday, December 15, 2022 from 8:30pm to 11:30pm to complete the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As all of our servers feature two, redundant power supplies, data center technicians will be able to migrate our servers to the new power source while keeping them online and powered on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However our networking switch only has a single power supply so it will be briefly powered down and plugged into the new power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estimated downtime during this maintenance window is 5 minutes to allow for our networking switch to come back online after being migrated to the new power source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
