Server will be unavailable on 9th December 2015 19.00 (CET) till 10th December 2015 07.00h (CET)
Our Infrastructure provider Hosteurope will move their entire server farm to the new DATADOCK data center in Strassbourg. It's one of the most modern data centers of today (Link)
Because of that physical relocation the server has to be shutdown and transported to the new location. Because of that a longer period of downtime is not avoidable.
The move will be done by a well educated and trained team which already successfully moved hundreds of other servers to this location from other locations of hosteurope.
Because of this downtime the gateway servers will not receive any data during this move and as the full data will be lost during this time.
We know this is sad but the advantages of the new data center are enormous. it's in the heart of Europe with best backbone connections and also using a lot less energy as it could use the river water to cool down the environment for the servers.
We will have a close eye on the move and will do our best to make this downtime as short as possible.
Kind Regards
Andreas Messerli
