[Monitoring] During an upgrade yesterday to a subset of our Northampton Cloud Platform we encountered an issue with VMware detecting ports in an incorrect state and traffic being lost. Action was taken by Node4 Engineers to resolve the issue however further work is required to complete the upgrade to the platform and restore the platform to full functionality and resiliency. We are planning to complete the remaining work tonight. Engineers have completed root cause investigations and are taking action to mitigate against any further impact and we do not anticipate further disruption however a subset of the Northampton Cloud Platform will be At Risk between 20/06/2022 18:30 - 21/06/2022 02:30 whilst the work is undertaken. We will provide you updates throughout the work. Thank you Node4

Scheduled Maintenance - Wakefield vCentre & vCloud Director Upgrade - CHG0075305Planned Maintenance

Description

On the 29th June 2022, the Cloud Infrastructure Engineers will be upgrading our virtual environment in our Wakefield Datacenter. Throughout the maintenance window management of the virtual infrastructure will be affected and management of Wakefield Cloud Environments via vCloud Director (https://portal.n4cloud.co.uk) will be intermittently inaccessible, therefore we recommend that no changes are made for the duration of this change window as these may not complete as expected. Impact: At Risk – 29/06/2022 17.30 to 30/06/2022 03:00 - Management of environments via vCloud Director will be intermittent and any changes may not take effect so we recommend that no changes are made during this time. No downtime is expected, however services will be considered "At Risk" for the duration of the window. Support & Feedback Our cloud Infrastructure engineers will closely monitor the work and will do everything possible to minimise any inconvenience to you. If you have any problems with your connection after this time, or if you have any questions regarding the maintenance at any point, please call Technical Support at 0345 123 2229 or visit support@node4.co.uk. While it is important for Node4 to perform maintenance such as this to ensure the quality of our services, we do everything possible to minimise any inconvenience to our customers. We appreciate your patience and welcome any feedback. Kind regards, Node4 Change Management
