Urgent Maintance on Servers in Sovereign House tonight [01/10/2012] Completed

Due to an issue with our router in Sovereign house we are performing a update earlier than planned.

This will limit access to servers on the 217.146.105 and 85.158.153 IP ranges.

We anticipate the downtime will not be longer than 90 minutes and will start approx 8pm this evening.

Note this will NOT affect access to ADSL and connectivity services only a small number of servers (including the merula website and portal) that are on the IPs above.

This work was completed though took a little longer than planned. All services were restored just after midnight

During this engineering window LINX (a major UK connection point used by numerous ISPs) are upgrading their routers at Telehouse North. This may lead to periods of routing issues overnight as various ISPs including us are moved between the old and the new hardware. This might also mean that some sites are unavailable or slow for short periods of time at various times during this period. If you are still seeing problems after this time please log a support call or ticket in the normal manner.

[UPDATE]

The maintenance work was undertaken with no issues.
