COMPLETED: Maintenance has been completed 01:00

NewNet engineers will be undertaking planned maintenance on some parts of our access network in the Delme Place and Carnac Lodge data-centres on Wednesday March 18th 2009 from 00.01.

This work will consist of a migration of the existing access infrastructure in this data-centre into our newly deployed core infrastructure. Customers will experience a controlled loss of service of up to 30 minutes while their access routers are migrated into the new platform.

Customers using Powerhost, Powerreg, managed hosting services, access to orderforms.co.uk and access to southcoast DNS servers will also be affected.

Due to the nature of these works, NewNet recommends its customers to consider their services as “at risk” for the duration of the maintenance window.
