We will be performing major maintenance in Miami, with the following windows: Wednesday, Feb 25th, Thursday, Feb 26th, and Friday, Feb 27th. The maintenance will take place during the general workday. This maintenance is due to relocating our current cabs to a different floor within the facility. This will deliver a better cabinet layout, increased power, more network options, and additional space.
On Wednesday, the 25th, we plan to cut over our network to the new racks. We plan to have minimal downtime, if any. The newly planned network will also include redundant routers to minimize future downtime.
On Thursday, the 26th, starting around 10 AM EST, we will transfer half of our Miami servers to the new racks, resulting in 3-6 hours of downtime. Specifics on which racks are affected will be announced accordingly.
On Friday the 27th, we will again begin transferring the other half of our Miami servers around 10 AM EST. The downtime should be around 3-6 hours as well.
We may need to perform additional maintenance on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, pending any issues that arise. Ensure you monitor the updates channel and your client email.
Notifications will be sent via Apollo Panel and the Sparked Host Discord approximately 30 minutes before maintenance. All affected clients will be emailed to confirm their maintenance date.
If you would like to place a dedicated server order, this would be the perfect time! We are on-site and ready to deploy. Just make a sales ticket!
Current dedicated server owners, if you desire any upgrades or changes to your current server. This is the perfect time for you as well!
For any questions or concerns regarding maintenance, Paul will be on site overseeing all operations. Please feel free to reach out via email at paul.t@sparkedhost.com
