Posted	Tuesday, January 31, 2012 1:46:09 AM UTC
Last Update	Tuesday, January 31, 2012 1:46:09 AM UTC (100 hours ago)
Status	Open
Affected Data Center	Dallas (TX)
Date: Tuesday, 7 February 2012 Time: 0500UTC - http://timeanddate.com/s/278y At this time our network staff will be migrating customers to a new rack switch. During the maintenance all servers will lose network connectivity but will otherwise continue to run as normal. This will involve removing the old switch first, racking of the new switch, then moving the uplink of each physical machine. We estimate the downtime to be 15-45 minutes. #
