In order to make ourselves feel better about the aesthetics of our server racks, we will be performing maintenance in our datacenter cage on the evening of April 30th, 2017.
Technical and managerial staff will enter the cage some time after dinner, and they will then decide the specific changes that need to be made.
We expect these changes may involve running new cabling between routers and switches, and between switches and servers. They may also involve re-racking servers so that all the model types are grouped together in the rack and look pretty, no matter what the impact may be to their function and troubleshooting.
We promise not to leave your server offline for more than a day or two, but if that happens we’re probably sorry.
