Hello,

Our host has notified us that they will be doing a Power Upgrade and maintenance so there may be a short downtime on Friday night. The downtime should only be 15-20 minutes so if you experience a downtime on Friday, please try accessing FP again in 15-20 minutes time and we should be up and running again.

Many thanks.

Event:
We are excited to announce that we are in the process of doing a major power upgrade to accommodate our growth. With this power upgrade, we decided to buy some of the latest and greatest Equipment, you can look forward to a brand new GE Spectra Bolt-On AV5 switchgear equipped with an EPM 2200 Power Meter and a designated Power Break II. Along with, a brand new Eaton Power Xpert 9395 UPS that has LCD inputs and outputs. (http://bit.ly/16aHuMU).

Additionally, a third generator will be installed to increase the total non-utility power capacity. We are also upgrading the power cabling under the raised floor using red and blue PDU cables (http://bit.ly/1yDWPft).

This power upgrade is going to make our Expansion capabilities almost endless, and this gives us the opportunity to continue to grow and provide much better redundancy

As you might expect, we will eventually have to move your equipment over to the “new power.” When we do this, you could experience a small power outage. We will do our very best to make this as painless as possible.

1st Maintenance Window – January 16, 2015 to January 17, 2015

2nd Maintenance Window – January 30, 2015 to January 31, 2015
