Maintenance Gandi.Net and API

Leland Vandervort — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:18:00 +0100

In order to deploy the new version of the website, we will be performing maintenance tomorrow morning (13 January) between 06:00 and 08:00 CEST.

During this time the Gandi website and the reseller APIs will be inaccessible. It will not be possible, therefore, to perform any operations to purchase, renew or modify Gandi products during this time. This maintenance should last less than half an hour but we we are of course leaving sufficient margin in case a rollback may be necessary.

The VPS Server, Gandi Mail, Blogs, Gandi Sitemaker, and other Gandi services will not be affected by this maintenance.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

Network Maintenance 28-30 October 2009 (Completed)

Leland Vandervort — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:30:00 +0200

We will be performing major upgrades to our network distribution infrastructure during the nights of 28 to 30 October. (This is the maintenance rescheduled from 21-23 October) During this time Gandi services will experience a number of intermittent disruptions in connectivity beginning at 1am (CEST) with maintenance activities finishing by 7am (CEST) each day. We will, nevertheless, endeavour to minimise impact to services where possible, but given the scale of the upgrades being performed, most services will encounter at least some disruption. Gandi Hosting will be the most affected during this operation, with an expected cumulative total of approximately 90 minutes of network outage. Other Gandi services will be partially affected.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this work may cause.

UPDATE 2009-10-30 05:20 CET: This work has now been completed and brings additional capacity, resilience and performance to the distribution layers of the network. We will be scheduling a further maintenance in the coming weeks to further enhance the features of the new hardware that has been installed. We will of course keep customers informed nearer the time.
