We are scheduling a maintenance window for iSeek - Darklite Hosting Services on Thursday the 29th of January. During this window, we will perform a number of hardware and software upgrades as described below.

Date: Thursday January 29th
Time: 7:00am - 12:00pm
Duration: 5 hours

Service Impact:

We are performing several major upgrades planned during this maintenance window. Our Irish Unix servers will be off line for most of this maintenance window. This means that most of our customers websites and email will be down during this period.

The following will remain unaffected: Clients on our Windows hosting plans, clients using our UK servers and clients using DNS to repoint to an external location.

Maintenance Work:

We are taking this maintenance window opportunity to complete several major upgrades to our Irish Unix Servers which include:

• Adding a second powerful IBM x3650 server to the cluster, adding significant extra capacity
• Upgrade Firewall to Cisco 5510
• Software upgrades including: Apache, PHP and Hsphere (control panel)

If you would like to read the full breakdown of upgrades and server specifications please click here: http://www.darklite.ie/newsletter/server_upgrades.html

What these upgrades mean for our customers:

• Fast Servers
• Improved Reliability
• Better Security via new Firewall and new and upgraded software
• New and Improved tools/features via the control panel.

We apologise for any inconvenience this maintenance window may cause. We have extensively prepared and tested these upgrades for the last two months in order to minimise the downtime. Once the work is complete and we have run a series of tests we will send a further newsletter on the benefits of the upgrades.

Thank you for your ongoing support and custom - iSeek - Darklite Hosting
