Abstract
After experiencing a customer-affecting power event at our BRU1 datacenter for which the cause remains unidentified by our datacenter operator to this day, we have undertaken a series of proactive steps to reduce the vulnerability of our infrastructure to such events in the future.
As part of this effort, on the 19th of January 2012, we will be migrating our complete footprint at the BRU1 site to a new electrical infrastructure provisioned at our request by the datacenter operator.
Since this is a service-affecting maintenance with operational impact, we will also use this opportunity to do miscellaneous housekeeping necessary for the improvement and further evolution of our services, including a firmware upgrade on some of our network equipment.
Detailed Information
Cloud Technologies maintains an open technical communication policy towards our distribution and partner channels. Any and all information regarding this maintenance may be found in the maintenance notification 20120119-001-MNT document.

While it is important for Cloud Technologies, Thinfactory and CloudPlaza to perform maintenance such as this to ensure the quality of our services, we do everything possible to minimize any inconvenience to our customers. We appreciate your patience and welcome any feedback.
