Power Maintenance THN 17/10/2009

October 10th, 2009

WINDOW: Saturday October 17th 07:00 - 14:00 GMT
ESTIMATED DOWNTIME: 30 MINUTES
NETWORK IMPACT: PARTIAL
REASON: Power Work in TFM2, Telehouse North
DESCRIPTION:
Telehouse are mandating a power outage in TFM2 (where our Telehouse North equipment is located) in order to switch all racks over to a new power distribution system. Whilst all equipment must be shut down, we will take this opportunity to migrate our equipment to a new home within the suite which had been planned for a later date. This will combine 2 outages in to 1 in order to reduce impact to customers in THN.
All customers directly connected to us in Telehouse North will lose connectivity for a maximum of 30 minutes whilst equipment is migrated. All other customers should be aware that the 10Gbps MPLS ring will be incomplete for approximately 5 minutes and therefore the network is at risk to a further fibre break. Customer traffic not ingressing to or egressing from THN will be re-routed via redundant paths for the duration of the maintenance window.
Apologies for the inconvenience this essential work may cause.
Should you have any questions, please contact support@abcnet.co.uk

Extension to London Metro Ring

controlled manner and so we will be “at risk” but the work should not
be service affecting to any clients. This should last for no longer than
30 minutes.
