| | From NFO:
Between 4am and 6am CDT on Monday, July 18, we'll be
upgrading our connection to InterNAP in Dallas to 10 Gbps, up from its
current 1 Gbps. This maintenance requires that on-site staff briefly
take our switching equipment offline in order to replace it with a
differently-configured unit, then that we have InterNAP change over from
the current circuit to the new one. Finally, we'll be running tests to
make sure that the new link is stable and loss-free. As a result of the
work, you should see a one or two periods of connection loss for your
service, each lasting approximately 5-15 minutes.
This upgrade
will provide us with more room for future expansion and allow us to
better weather DDoS attacks. After Monday, any attack between 1 Gbps and
10 Gbps will affect only customers on the single machine being hit, and
not all servers at the location. Potentially, we will also be able to
add a DDoS-mitigation layer on our end later on, allowing us to further
filter attacks.
If the timeframe of this maintenance will not
work for you, please contact us ASAP, and we can make arrangements to
accomodate you with a temporary service at another location until it is
complete. |
