Description

The Black Friday retail period is approaching which is a key trading period for a number of our customers. In order to ensure that our customers are able to operate under additional load requirements, Node4 will be operating a Heightened Awareness Period for Changes requested on our hosted infrastructure, core network, and associated services. This is to ensure a continuous stable and available environment for our customers during this critical time. We are therefore announcing that our Heightened Awareness period will run between 18:00 Thursday 25th November 2021 and 06:00 Thursday 2nd December 2021. This covers all services including Datacentres, Network, Cloud, Collaboration, SIP, databases, storage, applications, and security. Please note that during this period all medium and high-risk changes will be scrutinised and reviewed accordingly to safeguard the ongoing stability of Node4's infrastructure and systems. If you require a change to an existing service during the Heightened Awareness Period, please raise a request in the normal manner but be aware that the request may be declined if it poses a significant risk during this period.

Description

As part of our annual UPS maintenance, our supplier has recommended a firmware update on the system in DC2. In line with best practice, we will transfer the site to generators during these works and there will be a short period of maintenance bypass. Critical IT power and cooling will be maintained throughout these works. Risk levels during the bypass period are slightly elevated over normal. This work was originally scheduled for October, but was postponed due to engineers being unavailable.
