SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE NOTICE

Maintenance Window:  08/31/10 2200 CDT – 09/01/10 0400 CDT
Maintenance Site:  Datacenter ORD03
Expected Impact:  Slight interruptions in network traffic during reconvergence

Affected Customers:  All Customers in DC2/ORD03
Maintenance Description:   Network staff will be updating network configurations on all devices in ORD03 to facilitate future scaling plans.  Customers will see several short (4-5 second) outages in network connectivity during this window.

This maintenance will ONLY affect customers located in DC2/ ORD3.

To verify where your server is hosted, follow these steps:

Log into LEAP > Select the “servers” icon > click on the server that you are interested in > Under server details it will state “location”> If Location begins with a number (ie: 206.21), your server is in Datacenter 1, if Location begins with a letter (ie: ed.119), your server is located in our Datacenter 2 and may experience some increased latency and minor connectivity issues during this maintenance.

Thanks,

The SingleHop Team.

This maintenance notice is only for SingleHop’s 2nd Datacenter, located in Elk Grove Village. Again, we DO NOT expect any downtime to be associated with this maintenance, however some minor increased latency may occur as we switch connection between routers.

On August 25th 10PM- August 26th at 12AM one of our upstream providers will be doing maintenance on the network that will significantly improve redundancy and overall resiliency in their service. We do not expect any downtime from this mai

RFO for August 9th 2010 affecting Clients in Datacenter 2.

Date/Time: 11:25 CDT Aug. 9th, 2010

Date/Time Resolved: 11:35 CDT Aug. 9th, 2010

Total Time Elapsed: 10 Minutes

General Explanation:

An unknown issue in an upstream’s router caused repeated network convergence events, which could cause temporary routing loops, or increased latency from the customer perspective. Additional measures have been put in place to protect against future occurrences. The upstream is working with the router vendor to identify the exact fault for repair.

Preventative Measures:

Additional monitoring and rapid response steps detailed in NOC playbook to respond quicker to future occurrences.  Upstream is working with vendor to identify and resolve exact fault that led to convergence issues.

    Network technicians have stabilized the situation, but are still investigating the root cause at this time.

    Please standby for further updates.

  2. Brandon Ewing says:

    At this time, the network team reports that normal service has been restored. Upon analysis, it appears that an unknown issue in an upstream’s router caused repeated network convergence events, which could cause temporary routing loops, or additional latency from the customer perspective. Additional measures have been put in place to protect against future occurrences. The upstream is working with the vendor to identify the exact fault for repair.

We will be performing an update to our internal management systems on Monday August 9th from 4-5PM CST.

During this time LEAP will become unresponsive and possibly inaccessible. After 5PM all work should be completed and all systems will be working normally.

Thanks for your patience!

    An ongoing issue with an upstream provider has caused some packet loss due to an unknown reason. Our network department has disabled this link to prevent further interruptions, and will continue to investigate.

    An unknown issue has caused a reset of one of the core routers in DC2. The router has been reset, and normal operations are resumed at this time.

    During the outage, customers may have seen 2 brief periods of interruption, as the failure was detected and routed around, and as the router recovered and routing reconverged.

    Network staff are still investigating the root cause at this time with the vendor.
