UPS Maintenance

Posted by Blue Box Group on Wed Jun 17 16:42:00 UTC 2009


On Tuesday, June 23rd starting at 07:00 PST (14:00 UTC) and ending at 18:30 (June 24, 01:30 UTC) our data center service provider for our primary datacenter will be performing upgrades on two of the UPSes which provide power backup for the majority of Blue Box Group’s network and server equipment. During most of this maintenance window, BBG systems will be running on generator power. This is not an unusual maintenance window except in terms of the length of it. (Our data center service provider does monthly maintenance on the power systems, one step of which involves running all data center equipment on generator power for several hours.)

We anticipate no downtime as a result of this maintenance, but wanted to keep our customers informed of an increase in the risk of an outage during this window.
