The odd-musings of Jared, the Director of Network Security for IAPS Security Services.

The Sunfire server will have a 1-hour maintenance window for today, January 28, 2010. This server will be unavailable while a re-configuration process is completed. We ask for your patience during this process and we will have it back up and operational as soon as humanly possible. Thank you.

I will be performing a short maintenance cycle on the Firehawk and Secure9 servers today to clean up some of the routing issues and to create a shorter routing table so that data transit can gain those extra nano-seconds. I do not expect downtime to be more than 30 minutes, but I will not quote a more specific time frame at this point as it will take as long as it takes. As it is now nearly 1 a.m. London time and the servers are at their lowest usage point, I feel this is the best time to perform this needed maintenance cycle. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Folks,

I will be performing about 10 minutes of maintenance on each server today. By the time most of you read this the maintenance cycle will already be over. Thank you for your patience.

Folks, Silverhawk is operational now. If you have any connection troubles please let us know and we’ll get right on it. Thank you all for your patience.

Folks, today the Silverhawk server under went cosmetic surgery to enable the streaming part of the server to operate under a 64-bit version. Our work on this server is near completion and all services for this server shall be restored shortly. I thank you all for your patience while we work to continually improve the services for all of you.
