This weekend, we will be upgrading our network at our LWDC location.
We are upgrading the network core at LWDC to two new Cisco 6504-Es with SUP720-3BXL supervisors engines, 10GigE, and 1GigE SFP cards. This will replace two smaller Cisco 1GigE switches. We are also turning up a new 10GigE connection between our SDTC and LWDC locations and one of the two planned additional 1GigE carrier connections at LWDC. It's a lot of new stuff!
The migration to this new infrastructure will require a few hours of carefully planned steps followed by testing. This will cause a few brief interruptions in connectivity as routing protocols do their thing and we perform testing after the cut-over to the new systems. Each interruption will be less than 1 minute.
Window Start: Sunday 7/31/11 01:00 PDT
Window End: Sunday 7/31/11 04:00 PDT
Impact: Customers at LWDC may notice a few short interruptions under 1 minute each. SDTC customers will be unaffected.
This message is being sent to customers who have one or more servers at our LWDC location. Customers at SDTC will not be affected.
As always, your feedback, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. If you're thinking it, we want to hear it!
Sincerely,
Mike
Update: All work completed and tested successfully, and with time to spare.
