Our Maidenhead datacentre is undergoing major electrical infrastructure upgrades which will affect our services in the following ways:
Sunday 31st January, Afternoon. We will be powering down all our equipment in order to move on to temporary power feeds. There will be a period of up to 30 minutes where our services in Maidenhead will be offline.
Saturday 6th February, Afternoon: Power at risk as the datacentre replace our original power feeds - We will be running on the temporary power feeds during this work so service should be unaffected.
Sunday 7th February, Afternoon: We will be powering down all our equipment again in order to move on to the new power feeds. Similar to the work on 31st January there will be a period of up to 30 minutes where our services in Maidenhead will be offline.
Services that will be affected when power is moved between feeds:
VoIP services,
Access to the Control Page,
Dedicated servers we host for customer (collocation),
Web pages we host for customers
This work has been completed with much less disruption than anticipated; we were able to move the power of most devices without the loss of power. A couple of single-PSU devices did lose power for a few minutes.
