[M5Hosting] Planned Maintenance Events

[Michael J McCafferty]

Dear Happy M5 Customer,

         In addition to the recent upgrade of the core routers, M5's Colocation
facility is upgrading the core switches to each include a 720 Gigabit/sec
supervisor blade. This upgrade can only improve what is already one of the
fastest and lowest latency networks on the West Coast.

         This upgrade will require a short total loss of IP connectivity.  The
work is scheduled for 4/15/04 between 1:00am and 2:00am to minimize the impact
to customers.
         Your web site may not be reachable during this period. You may not be
able to retrieve mail by POP, IMAP or webmail. Inbound mail sent to your domain
during the maintenance period may, in the vast majority of cases be queued by
the senders' mail server and retried after a variable back-off period (usually
a few hours).

         The last planned outage was 96 days ago for a kernel upgrade, 
which required a reboot of the hosting servers. There have been no 
unplanned outages since that time. The last scheduled event was just two days
ago, but did not result in any loss of service.

Thank you !
Mike
