Some ServerOrigin subscribers may notice some intermittent connectivity from 04:00AM CDT to 08:00AM CDT on 09/26/2010. This is due to a scheduled maintenance at Softlayer’s Facilities. ServerOrigin apologizes for the inconvenience this may cause but we do hope to see improved speed and reliability from the related improvements.

Thanks for your patience,

ServerOrigin Communications Team

Start time (CDT):04:00
Services Affected:WDC01 public/private connectivity
Device:bbr01/02.eq01.wdc01
Location:wdc01
Duration:4 hours
Description:SoftLayer Engineers will be conducting maintenance on the transport network that provides connectivity between the WDC01 datacenter and the Equinix facility in Ashburn. During this window, Engineers will be migrating a number of transport circuits from existing gear to new dark fiber gear. Once complete, this new system will allow SoftLayer to scale capacity between these sites from the existing 60 Gbps limit to well over 800 Gbps if required.

The following services will be impacted during this maintenance:
- Public network connectivity for the WDC01 facility
- Public / Private connectivity to other SoftLayer facilities from the WDC01 facility

During this maintenance, Engineers will make every effort to mitigate the impact to customer traffic; however, customers are likely to see routing anomalies, packet-loss, and increased latency.
