Several customers have brought to our attention a decrease in performance when using our FortiGate platform in the Manchester region. To swiftly address this issue, our engineering team has scheduled an emergency maintenance window for a live migration of the hosted firewall platform to a redundant server. This migration is set to commence at 12:00. We anticipate that this maintenance operation will result in minimal disruption. However, customers may experience a momentary blip in connectivity lasting approximately one second. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the continued optimal performance of our services.

Our NOC team has scheduled a series of OS upgrades for our LNS infrastructure, set to commence on the week starting 18/09/23. These upgrades are essential to maintain the devices' security and overall system performance, as they will be running the latest firmware. During this upgrade process, customers should anticipate a brief downtime of less than 1 minute, resulting in temporary unavailability of internet access. We have planned the updates to take place within the time window of 19:00 - 21:00, spanning from 19/09/2023 to 14/11/2023.

Our engineering team will be implementing a series of backend configuration changes to enhance the performance of our virtual FortiGate platform on September 14, 2023, between 18:00 and 20:00. These improvements are crucial for optimising system performance. Following the implementation of these updates, a platform reboot will be necessary to activate the changes. During this reboot, customers hosted in our Manchester data centre may experience a temporary downtime of up to ten minutes. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to provide you with a better, more efficient platform.

In preparation for the maintenance later this evening, we are having to carry out some emergency work on our hosted VM platform in Manchester, as a result of the work customers may experience a couple of seconds of downtime whilst we migrate the VM from one server to another. This work will be carried out at 4pm today to minimise the impact on customers using this service. Our Network Engineers will ensure everything is operational before proceeding with the further maintenance work this evening. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, if you have any issues following this work please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234.
