We are currently facing a network issue affecting our North American data center, an intervention is being carried out by our technicians to provide a permanent fix.

For the moment, there's no given ETA, since we understand this issue is affecting the business of our customers, we are doing our best to have the services back online as quick as we can.

We apologize for this unfortunate situation.

We are writing to inform you of some network maintenance which needs to be carried out this Thursday the 22nd of June, at 5 am. Please find all the details of the intervention below:

Background :

To improve our services, since the 6th of June 2017, we have been gradually switching some networks to new routers, especially those using our BHS-3A and BHS-3B routers.

Current situation :

Due to a software malfunction on one of the network cards, which was beyond our control, the previous settings have not changed. We therefore need to force the routing to the new equipment, by entering configuration commands.

We also need to update the BHS-3B chassis to make sure that these instructions are registered correctly.

Intervention :

To ensure minimal impact, the intervention is scheduled to take place during a period of low traffic: Thursday the 22nd of June at 5 am.

The upgrade is due to take approximately one hour. All the servers will then be routed via BHS-3A, with a possible slight reduction in speed.

Rest assured that we have put all the necessary measures in place to limit any impact on your services.

Thursday the 22nd of June at 5:00 pm PH time.
