      <title>Planned Maintenance (Tuesday 4th July 00:00 - 01:00 Hrs)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We are carrying out emergency maintenance work on our windows cluster during the following periods:</p>

<p>Tuesday 4th July 00:00 - 01:00 Hrs</p>

<p>This work&nbsp;is expected to&nbsp;involve a 15-minute outage for the majority of hosted clients VPS'/VM's, however we have allowed for an outage of up to 1 hour to complete the work. This emergency work is required to resolve some issues with our 'Cluster Aware Updating' and we will be monitoring the work closely throughout the change window and post change.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p><br />
Update Tuesday 4th July 02:22 Hrs<br />
Due to some issues encountered with this change, the full outage window was utilised.&nbsp; We appreciate your patience while we completed this important work, all VMs we're fully operational shortly after 01:00 Hrs.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

      <title>Major infrastructure upgrades 9th-10th March 2019</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We are undertaking a significant upgrade of our hosting infrastructure to increase capacity and performance. Specifically this involves installing more RAM, faster network cards, and faster storage with additional capacity.</p>

<p>The work will be carried out over the weekend of 9th-10th March 2019. The aim is to keep disruption to a minimum and servers will be live for the majority of the time, but there will be periods when all servers have to be switched off in order to upgrade the hardware.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We hope to have all the work completed on the Saturday, but have extended the "at risk" period to include Sunday as a precautionary measure.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The "at risk" period will therefore extend from 09.00am Saturday 9th March through to 23:59pm Sunday 10th March.&nbsp;Servers may go offline at any time through this period of planned maintenance.</p>

      <title>Planned downtime for server moves 21st November 2015</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We are moving all of our servers from the Telehouse datacentre to another datacentre in North London. This move will provide us with better support from our suppliers and enable faster responses to any issues in future. Details of the new datacentre:</p>

<p>LOCATION: <a href="http://virtusdatacentres.com/locations/enfield-lon-1/" target="_blank">http://virtusdatacentres.com/locations/enfield-lon-1/</a><br />
CERTIFICATIONS: <a href="http://virtusdatacentres.com/why-virtus/quality-credentials/" target="_blank">http://virtusdatacentres.com/why-virtus/quality-credentials/</a><br />
WHY VIRTUS: <a href="http://virtusdatacentres.com/why-virtus/" target="_blank">http://virtusdatacentres.com/why-virtus/</a></p>

<p>In order to facilitate this move we will be shutting down&nbsp;all of our&nbsp;hosting servers at 8pm on Saturday 21st Nov 2015. We aim to bring them all back online from about 1am, when&nbsp;we will carry out testing to ensure things are up and running correctly.</p>
