The Yoda server is currently off line we have no idea at this time what exactly happened. We're currently having datacenter technicians investigate on site as we have no theories as to why the machine has gone off line completely including our IPMI management system.

We will be updating the Mars server kernel to the latest version on Thursday April 30th at 10:00am EST. We estimate this will result in about 10 minutes of down time while the server reboots.

Keeping kernels up to data is a necessary step in order to stay on top of performance improvements as well as have the latest security fixes.

Estimated Down Time: 10 minutes

This maintenance applies to all shared, reseller, VPS and backup servers

Scheduled Maintenance - GLOBAL [07/07/2011-07/08/2011]
Date: Thursday, July 7th, 2011 (07/07/2011) and Friday, July 8th, 2011 (07/08/2011)
Start Time: 12:00 AM EDT
End Time: 04:00 AM EDT
Services affected: Public / Private Network
Location: GLOBAL
Duration: 28 hours

Event summary:

Datacenter engineers will be performing global maintenance on their backbone. During this maintenance, engineers will be implementing a number of policy changes related to route announcement and accepting routes from providers and peers. This work is required to support continued growth within the network and future global expansion. Due to the scope of this change, the work has been scheduled across the following dates:

Thursday July 7th 12:00 - 04:00 AM EDT
Friday July 8th 12:00 - 04:00 AM EDT

Customer impact:

While engineers expect no outage during this maintenance, customers may experience higher latency and/or packet loss while routes reconverge across the network.

On Wednesday December 17th at 11:00AM EST we will be upgrading the Apache and PHP on the Mars server to the latest versions. We do not expect any interruption in services however the CPU usage may be higher than normal on the server while we compile the new versions. We expect this upgrade to take no longer than 30 minutes.

Date: 12/17/2008
Start time (EST): 11:00am
End time (EST): 11:30am
Estimated Down Time: None
Duration: 30 minutes

March was a shortened month as we only started doing the new monitoring on the 14th. So keep in mind this dataset is inaccurate and does not reflect the overall uptime that month actually had. I'm going to try to explain any downtime reflected on the reports as well as we generally know why something went down. This report also includes a few images of the uptime. Feel free to use them as you wish.
