Advance warning. Some possible downtime.

Received this from out host today.

For a 2-hour period this Thursday, June 28th, we will be upgrading network infrastructure in our east coast data center. This upgrade will provide additional network capacity and increased resiliency, allowing us to better serve you.
Our network maintenance window is from 11pm EST to 1am EST (GMT-5). During this period there will be intermittent connectivity issues for customers as we transition over to the new infrastructure. The maintenance is automated and so should run smoothly. As a precaution, we will have network engineering staff and engineers from all of our providers available so that if any issues arise, they will be resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

So, if there are any issues connecting tomorrow, don't panic.

We had some downtime yesterday. The host sent out this email.

Staminus experienced a brief interruption on August 20th. This was caused by electrical contractors as they installed new power.

START: Monday August 20, 2012 13:05 PDT
FINISH: Monday August 20, 2012 13:25 PDT

Downtime: 20 minute.

COMMENTS:
The electrical contractor bypassed our policies and procedures designed to prevent this kind of situation. The contractor will no longer be permitted to operate in the Staminus Data Center.
Thank you for your understanding. We are happy to report that the problem has been fully resolved.

Thank you,
Staminus Communications
