UK Rackspace Maintenance this weekend

Dear Client

We are pleased to announce that this weekend our new BWF cloud that we have been testing for 2 weeks is being moved to our Rackspace in Bluesquare Maidenhead.  Please see http://bwf.co/cloud for information.

As part of this installation some reorganization / rearrangement of our other servers in the UK is necessary.  This will involve shutting down each server and moving it to the new loaction and booting it up again.  One server will be done at a time and the techs will work to ensure each server comes back on line before starting another one.

Downtime is expected to be 15-20 minutes overnight this weekend UK time.  Our UK VPS Nodes may take slightly longer for all the containers to start up again following reboot but we will keep a special eye on these.

We do not have a schedule for each server but techs will be working overnight Friday and Saturday and Sunday to complete these tasks.  If you have any concerns at all just open a ticket and we will be happy to help.

Thanks for your continued support of BWF and we will do everything we can to keep the downtime to less than 20 minutes per server.

Thanks

BWF Team
