[Comtec Announce] [IP Voice Services] Maintenance window 2nd & 3rd December 2016

[Adrian Williams]

Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled on Friday, 2nd December and Saturday, 3rd December 2016to IP Voice Services.

Date: Friday 2nd December 2016
Start time: 2000 GMT
Date: Saturday 3rd December 2016
End time: 0200 GMT

Purpose:

The Engineering Team will be performing works to add RAM to one of the servers in a Call Processing clusters and remove some legacy equipment from the primary datacentre.


Services Affected:

IP Voice Services


Impact:

In regards to the Call Processing cluster, these works will impact the primary server in the cluster, so call processing will be redirected to the secondary. The works relating to this will not begin before 2200.

Due to the way that users are distributed within the platform these works will impact about 20% of users.

Due to the nature of the works there will be a brief period of no more than 15 minutes, where users may experience excessive post dial delay or the brief inability to make or receive calls. The Engineering team will be working to make sure this is kept to a minimum and carried out at a time which impacts as few users as possible.

Regarding the equipment removal, all equipment is no longer in active use; services are simply at risk due to the fact that Engineers will be working in racks with active equipment.

Our Engineering Team will be closely monitoring all systems and services, as well as the above, to ensure any unexpected disruption is as brief as possible if experienced.

Comtec is tracking this issue under ticket KZP-994-83945.
