Scheduled datacenter maintenance

Date: 06/30/2009 (Tuesday)

Start time (CDT): 03:00:00

End time (CDT): 04:00:00

Services affected: Backend / Private network

Device: BAS03.SR05.DAL01

Location: Dallas, TX

Duration: 1 hour

SoftLayer Engineers will be replacing the upstream
back end aggregate switch that provides connectivity
to the rack level switch to which your server is connected.

During this maintenance, customers will not have
access to backend services (DNS resolution, update servers,
NAS, iSCSI, VPN access, IMPI access, backup servers,
backend communications, etc). While the maintenance window
is set for 1 hour, we expect no longer than 20-30 minutes of downtime.
