Chicago Datacenter Relocation
Feb 26, 2013 - 11:02am EST
The hardware is now in the process of being moved to its new location. We are expecting up to 24 hours of downtime as we pack up and move the hardware to the new location. We do expect that some services will start to come online Tuesday evening as things are racked and powered up, but please be prepared for a longer downtime, as it will simply depend on how things progress on site.
Another update will be provided once work is complete.

We are currently prepping for a Datacenter Relocation in Chicago. This move will take place on Tuesday, February 26th 2013.
We are expecting up to 24 hours of downtime as we pack up and move the hardware to the new location. We do expect that some services will start to come online Tuesday evening as things are racked and powered up, but please be prepared for a longer downtime, as it will simply depend on how things progress on site.
A credit will be given for 1 day for everyone affected automatically.
This new location will improve our overall network performance and ability to expand going forward. IPs and Data will remain intact, but there is always the possibility of a piece of hardware failing on the move, so please make a backup of your data if you are concerned. Voice server data is backed up automatically, so that will not be an issue.
We will update this service alert just prior to the work being started, and once again when work is completed.
