[Update] In light of recent government advice on the use of face coverings / masks, we are asking our staff, security guards and customers to wear face coverings in the communal areas of our offices and data centres. This includes corridors, break out areas, toilets and kitchens. We are not asking customers to wear masks when working in the Data Halls as long as they are distanced from Node4 staff and other customers. As before, we expect customers to take responsibility for working in a COVID safe way when onsite and provide their own PPE as required. Please ask our onsite staff for guidance if needed Effective from 24th Sept 2020 Thanks Rik Williams (Head of Data Centres)

Description

Node4 engineers have identified unexpected behaviour with the Slough (LD5) switching infrastructure. This is not service impacting however it is impacting our ability to manage these switches and perform changes on them. We are currently unable to rectify this issue, and therefore require a maintenance window to perform intrusive actions in order to restore the switching to a normal operational status. Impact At Risk – 22:00 Thursday 1st July 2021 - 03:00 Friday 2nd July 2021 BST For most services in Slough (LD5) the infrastructure is resiliently connected to the switching infrastructure, so we expect downtime to be kept to a minimum, and only occur as failover events take place. Services will be considered "At Risk" for the duration of the window. Customers that will be Impacted will be directly notified., and updates will be posted to N4Status throughout this planned maintenance. Support & Feedback Our Cloud Operations 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 0845 123 2229 or visit node4.co.uk/support. While it is important for Node4 to perform maintenance such as this to ensure the quality of our network, we do everything possible to minimise any inconvenience to our customers. We appreciate your patience and welcome any feedback. Regards, Node4 Technical Support
