EXN have been notified by our supplier of upcoming fibre maintenance work within Equinix LD8 that will affect our fibre link between Equinix LD8 and Volta. During this maintenance the fibre will be disconnected and moved to a new location. EXN have 2 diverse paths out of each of these data centres, so before the is disconnected, EXN will gracefully move all traffic away from affected link. During this maintenance both sites should be considered "AT RISK".

As part of our network improvement program, EXN will be replacing device "rodeo.ld8.exn.uk" in Equinix LD8. During this maintenance window we will be required to break the ring between Global Switch 2 and Volta in Equinix LD8.
Clients directly connected to "rodeo.ld8.exn.uk" will experience downtime and will be contacted individually. We are not expecting any downtime for non-directly connected clients however Global Switch 2, Equinix LD8 and Volta should be considered "AT RISK" during this window as redundancy will be reduced.
