Emergency Switch Replacement in DFW1 on 6/25 at 2AM GMT
We’ve found that one of our primary switches in the DFW1 datacenter needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The emergency maintenance is planned for this evening at 2AM GMT (9PM CDT) and it should be very brief.
Since our environment has redundant switching, the downtime should only be a matter of seconds. In the worst case scenario, the downtime should be less than 60 seconds. As soon as the switch is successfully replaced, we will provide an update regarding the network’s status.
We apologize for the short notice for this maintenance and for any inconvenience that it may cause. Thank you for your support!
UPDATE AT 2:45AM GMT: The maintenance is now complete and the switching has been thoroughly tested after the replacement. If you’re experiencing any on-going issues, please contact us at any time.

I’m just glad that you guys don’t do what MediaTemple does, which is to go down for a full day and not tell anyone what’s going on. Thanks for your continued service SliceHost :)

60 seconds downtime. That´s nothing. There are a lot of services out there, who torture their customers with downtimes of one day and more. Sounds like a good service.
