During the afternoon / evening of the 14th August we will be performing a range of upgrades at our Manchester PoP. These include
- Replacement of UPS Batteries
- Upgrade Core Switches
- New Access Switches
- Upgraded Core Routers
- New Servers
During some periods of the maintenance routes that would normally route via Manchester will take an alternative route. It also means that some backup leased Lines will be unavailable for a short period.
While the maintenance window is wide we hope that the actual core network will not be affected for more than an hour or so – hopefully less. All the replacement hardware has been setup and tested in our Lab. Note that we are not anticipating any issues with our core network in any other location and Broadband, etc should be affected – However it should be considered ‘at risk’. These upgrades should further enhance the stability of our core network
