A maintenance will be performed on the weekend.
WHEN?
On May 24, 2025, starting at 4:00 AM (CEST), we will migrate our infrastructure from FRA1 to our new FRA2 facility, which became operational in January of this year.
The maintenance is expected to last until 10:00 AM (CEST) due to the complex nature of the tasks involved.
WHY?
This migration is part of our ongoing commitment to improve our services and facilities.
Several months ago, we experienced two brief power-related outages affecting FRA1, which were beyond our control.
These incidents, among other factors, prompted us to reassess long-term risks and make necessary adjustments.
The new FRA2 facility offers improved availability, 24/7 on-site support, and is built on our fully redundant core routing and switching infrastructure, including DDoS protection.
During the maintenance window, we will be performing the following tasks:
Migration of physical servers to the new FRA2 region
Updates to our core virtualization layer
Integration into our new virtualization cluster
Migration to our upgraded routing and switching stack
DETAILS
Please take note of the following important information:
After completion, all nodes will automatically reboot.
There will be no changes to your assigned IP addresses or rDNS/PTR entries.
Our support team will be available throughout the maintenance period to assist you with any questions or concerns.
The migration will only affect nodes located within the FRA1 region; AMS1, FRA2, and SPO1 will remain online and unaffected.
