Cloud Sites | Priority System Maintenance | March 6, 12:00 AM – 02:00 AM CST – COMPLETED
The Rackspace Cloud’s system engineering team will be performing several upgrades to our WC2 infrastructure in our Dallas / Fort Worth, TX (DFW) data center to enhance stability and performance. The maintenance is scheduled to last two (2) hours, beginning on the morning of March 6 at 12:00 AM CST and ending at 02:00 AM CST. While connectivity during this window will be intermittent, some sites may be offline for as long as 90 minutes. As always, we will do everything we can to keep the interruptions to an absolute minimum.
STORAGE ARRAY MAINTENANCE
During this maintenance window we will be performing a series of software upgrades and disk space additions to our storage array to increase capacity, stability, and scalability. These upgrades will also allow us to further optimize our storage array’s performance, equating to faster data load times for your applications and better stability. During the maintenance period you may be unable to access, upload, or make changes to your website content.  We will certainly do everything possible to limit the amount of time your account will be affected.
We apologize for the short notice of this maintenance. It is critical, however, that the work be completed in as timely of a manner as possible to ensure increased stability and scalability. This maintenance activity is a direct result of our in-depth infrastructure review that we have completed on our WC2 cluster.
Update: As of 1155pm CST, Rackspace Engineers will be starting the maintenance for this evening. We will continue to update the post as the maintenance progresses.Â
