Maintenance on March 8, 2011
On March 8, 2011, between the hours of 0200 and 0500 Eastern Time, Arces will be performing maintenance on its core routers in its main datacenter (NY2). This maintenance is to upgrade the firmware and enable new BGP sessions for IPv6 transit from Cogent and Level(3). The configuration of our network is such that we can perform this maintenance on the standby router, fail over, and continue on the other router with minimal impact to your service. There will be an interruption of up to a few minutes during the failover from one router to the other.
Once complete, the firmware update and new IPv6 transit will not change the existing IPv4 services from us. This step is necessary for our transition to IPv6, and after it is complete, we will approach our colocation customers to plan for the implementation of IPv6 in their subnets. Non-colocation customers will be able to leverage our tunnel broker services for fast access to the Internet over IPv6, and we will continue to build out services as we approach World IPv6 Day on June 8.
If you have any questions, please contact our support department.
Update - 03/08/2011
Maintenance was successfully completed this morning. Both routers are running the latest firmware image. There was no interruption to customer service.
