This is a continuation from the last round of maintenance, of which we where unable to get 10Gbps networking live within the UK due to a new piece of hardware failing on us during testing, this has been replaced by our suppliers and we're ready to start the rollout.

This next round of rack work will include the following changes:
- Full 10Gb/s rollout into our UK Location (Into all racks)
- New cisco switches to replace our current switch infrastructure
- ALL current dedicated clients will be upgraded from 1Gb/s uplink to 2.5Gb/s
- VDS upgraded from 1Gb/s to 2.5Gb/s
- Adding Additional links for upgrading UK VPS from 1Gb/s to 2Gb/s in the near future
- New VPS Nodes being brought into production for more capacity

The time onsite this day will be focused to just bringing 10Gbps networking live within the UK, and fully restocking our UK VPS hardware after our recent hardware failure on nodes.

We expect the downtime for the location to be about 15-20 minutes MAX whilst we remove all old hardware and rack new switch hardware.

All hardware/software configuration will be tested in our racks and we'll ensure everything works as expected before dropping networking to perform the upgrades to everyone.

William Allison - CTO @ EUGH
