Will I experience downtime?
Due to multiple levels of resiliency in the DC5 Data Centre Switching Fabric there is no expected downtime to existing services during the work. However, during the maintenance window the automations that handle provisioning of network services will need to be disabled. So, it will not be possible to provision new customer networks during this time. This includes automated KVM/OOB access requests.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries or questions regarding this maintenance window.
Thanks
