Sep 9, 2015 | Information, Planned Work
We’ve been advised by Allegro, one of our transit suppliers, of work to be undertaken on one of their core routers in Manchester. This should not mean any loss of service to us or our end-users as we have multiple diverse routes into and out of our data centres — there may be a few moments of route instability during the 45 minute work window until they re-converge and stabilise.
Date of work: 17.09.15
Start time: 00:00 BST
End time: 06:00 BST
Place of work: Manchester
Planned Work: EU3819
Work description: Service migration to a new device

One of the smaller UPS units protecting one of the racks here in the data centre is indicating that the bateries need replacing. These are on order and the work will be undertaken shortly. We will advise further when we have a confirmed date & time.
There should be no impact on the rack up-time as the main data-centre UPS will be on-line at all times, but as this rack contains a number of our core switches and there’s always the possibility of an unforseen problem, we consider that this should be noted as “at risk” work.

During a routine test we have discovered a small issue on our generator that, whilst not immediately service impacting, needs attention. Our specialist engineers have assessed the generator and determined that replacement parts are required.
These will be installed on Tuesday 18th August. During the work window (approx. 2 hours) the generator will be shut-down and unable to take the load if there is any mains power issue. We still have our main backup UPS on line as well as smaller ones protecting core network & client areas.
We don’t envisage any downtime or other network/client affecting issues because of this work and this is an advisory only.
