Scheduled Maintenance: Physical Server Rearangement (Complete)

[Lena S.]

Date/Time: Sunday, January 29th, 4AM EST.

Duration: up to 20 minutes, may be somewhat longer in case of automatic filesystem checks on power-up.

We'd like to inform you that we will be moving the server you're hosted on to a different rack within the same facility. This is part of our power system and network overhaul program in Atlanta datacenter, aimed at improving infrastructure stability and optimizing electrical power utilization.

The server will be gracefully turned off, physically moved and mounted in adjacent rack 5 yards away. No software adjustments or hardware rearrangements will be performed. The server will be returned to its normal performance after the migration.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that may be caused by the scheduled maintenance.
