Data Centre Power Outage - Sunday 7th September

This Sunday the 7th September 2008 our local electricity supplier will be upgrading the local power relay to our building. Regrettably this means that some of our data-center services will not be available during the hours of 8am and 2pm.

What impact does this have?

• All mail will be directed to our second data-centre in Telford and queued for delivery (if you use our MailScanner cleaning service). If you have an office server that handles mail from your site your mail will continue to be delivered normally. If your email account is hosted remotely or we operate a Zimbra server on your behalf these services will be available after 2pm.

• VoIP telephone services will operate normally, with the exclusion of hosted VoIP.

• Application hosting will operate normally.

• 80% of website hosting will suffer, premium web stores will still be available.

• Inbound Fax services will not be available.

Engineers will be available on-site following the downtime to re-commission and monitor the services.
