Scheduled Maintenance: UK and Partial CA Migration

On Wednesday the 24th of July Starting at 1pm BST we will be migrating all clients on UK-01, UK-02, UK-03, UK-04, UK-05, UK-06,UK-07, CA-09, CA-10 and CA-11 in the case of the UK to hardware with a different provider and in the case of CA, Upgraded hardware on a Ryzen 9 7900. We have recently signed an agreement with our current US Provider to allow us to provide a more stable and consistent experience for our clients, all clients are moved onto the same hardware.

We are scheduling this maintenece to start at 1pm BST and take no more than Six hours, and complete at 8pm BST Each individual node will be down for a short portion of this six hours while they are migrated. During this time servers will be shut down to allow for the migration. All IPS, Files and servers will remain as they are. Clients do not need to do anything at this time. During the maintenance, we will be providing updates about its status.

We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice but we hope this maintenance will be the last big migration in the UK for many years to come and better hardware meaning faster servers for the clients on the nodes in CA.
