Weather Affected Services
by Tom Berryman [Profile] | Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
Yesterday Gippsland’s wild weather caused a significant number of interuptions, most of these were power related.
At this time it looks as though everything has returned to normal for our customers.
Connectivity I.T. hosting services were not affected.

Network Speed Upgrade
by Tom Berryman [Profile] | Friday, January 27th, 2012
Early today our network transit provider underwent a significant back-haul upgrade. This has resulted in a significant increase in the bandwidth available to our network.
Improvements in maximum speed will be seen for accessing all hosted virtual servers, websites and data centre co-location customers.
In addition to the speed upgrades this has all hardened our backup path capabilities.

Network Upgrade Complete

After testing this evening we can now confirm our redundant internet path is operational. This ensures that all hosted services will be online and available regardless of the status of our upstream providers.
Further to this our network is scheduled for a significant speed improvement this Friday.

Network Upgrade: BGP Project
by Tom Berryman [Profile] | Wednesday, January 25th, 2012
At 5pm today we completed initiation of a redundant BGP path to the internet. This has eliminated all single points of failure from our network.
At 6pm tonight we will be performing some failover testing that will cause a short interuption to services.

Network Upgrade
by Tom Berryman [Profile] | Monday, January 16th, 2012
At present we are undergoing a significant network upgrade to deliver 100% carrier redundancy. What this means for Cloud customers and Data Centre users alike is internet access even in the event of a catastrophic ISP failure.
The process involves deployment of 2 new routers and a significant rework of the network to accomodate our new IP addressing scheme.
Presently the new routers have been deployed and pushed into production this evening. The process went very well and as such over the next 48 hours we will be changing the client demarcation points to their new destinations. This will incur a few minutes of disruption.
We expect our tertiary path to be deployed by the 27th of this January, and we also expect a significant improvement in bandwidth on January 25.
This project not only allows Connectivity I.T. services much higher than standard reliability but the solution can be used to enhance the reliability of your networks too.
