We plannen vannacht enkele upgrades waarvoor we de servers : minerva, helios, prospero, cybele, ares, iris en vesta gedurende enkele minuten zullen moeten uitschakenen. We voeren alles ze snel mogelijk uit en verwachten voor de meeste servers een geplande downtime van een 5 tot 10 tal minuten. Deze onderhouds werkzaamheden zijn nodig om te verzekeren dat onze servers optimaal zouden blijven presteren. De werken zijn gepland tussen 24:00 en 1:30 in de nacht van 1 op 2 juli.

30/06/2011 23:03 GMT+1 :: Een kleine onderbreking bij de internationale upstream provider

Onze transit provider heeft zonet een kleine onderbreking met een van zijn internationale uplinks gehad. Routes werden geannounced maar het verkeer werd niet door geroute.

15/06/2011 19:05 GMT+1 :: Nieuwe transferprocedure voor .be domeinnamen

BE registry DNS.be lanceert vanaf nu haar nieuwe productiesysteem. Hierdoor zullen een aantal belangrijke wijzigingen plaats vinden. Zo zal er geen onderscheid meer gemaakt worden tussen een trade en een transfer. De .BE transfer procedure is minder ingewikkeld gemaakt. Vanaf nu dient een domeinnaamhouder de verhuiscode aan te vragen bij de huidige registrar. Deze zal de code per e-mail versturen naar de domeinnaamhouder. De nieuwe registrar kan met deze verhuiscode de verhuizing starten. De houder ontvangt geen email meer ter bevestiging en de faxbevestiging vervalt, de transfercode zal deze expliciete bevestigingen vervangen. Wanneer het transferproces eenmaal gestart zal het transfer proces worden Het voordeel van deze wijziging is dat een verhuizing sneller verloopt, met minder kans op ongeregeldheden tijdens het bevestigingsproces per email of fax. Meer informatie over de transferprocedure vindt u op de website van dns.be: Nieuwe transfer procedure

We have just received word from the DC that a new powermeter will be placed in our rack between 17.00 and 20.00 GMT. This should not be any problem since first the A-Feed and later the B-Feed will be interrupted, but not at the same time. Our STS system will switch automaticly to the feed that is delivering power, keeping all servers online. One of our technicians will be at the DC during the replacement to ensure the quickest response time in case of unforseen downtime.

25/02/2007 21:43GMT :: Annoucing equipment move

Due to restructuring in our datacenter parts of our equipment will be moved to new racks. This also provides us with the space needed to garantee our current growth ratio. The move is planned at Tuesday 27th Feb 2007 with a timewindow between 21h and 6h GMT. Not all equipment will be moved at once, so not everything will go down at the same time, or for the same length. Average downtime per server will be between 5 and 15 minutes. Our network infrastructure will be expanded to the new racks before moving any other equipment to ensure a maximum downtime of 20 minutes for a server.
