Maintenance Sunday 12th September & Sunday 19th September.

Published August 12, 2010 by Richard Uren

Serverbeach have just informed us that there will be up coming power maintenance at their Virginia data center. They’re not anticipating any effect to service during the maintenance windows. Their message is below.

FYI : Handset Detection runs two active sites at any one time. Either site is able to handle our usual load by itself, plus about 50%. This is really just a heads up in case you’re doing something funky with fixed IPs at your site, or if your DNS is slow to update (which is how we take a site out of circulation).

In a continuing effort to improve the ServerBeach service offering, we will be
performing two proactive repairs of the critical electrical system during the
following windows:

Sunday, September 12, 2010 from 7:00 AM EST – 7:00 PM EST
Sunday, September 19, 2010 from 7:00 AM EST – 7:00 AM EST on Monday, September 20, 2010.

The purpose of the two maintenances is to replace two static transfer switches
that feed our Herndon, Virginia Data Center. One static transfer switch will be
replaced during each maintenance window. The projected duration of the
maintenance window scheduled for Sunday, September 12, 2010 is 12 hours and the
maintenance window scheduled for Sunday, September 19, 2010 is 24 hours.

Please be advised that engineers will be doing both maintenances on the
emergency power system that feeds your server(s) while it is still energized.
This means we will not be shutting off power to your solution, but there is a
certain amount of risk involved with working on electrical systems while they
are energized. We will have staff and infrastructure in place to act in the
unfortunate event something does go wrong. We are not expecting any power
interruptions, but we will be prepared to react quickly.
