Dear Valued Customers,
 
Please treat this as reminder for upcoming Data Center Migration exercise. All schedule and progress of the server migration will be recorded and communicated here.

You are strongly recommended to run a full data backup to your local desktop/laptop/external drive as an extra precaution prior to the actual schedule of this migration exercise.

We will keep you updated for each migration stage until it's fully powered up in the new data center. Kindly reply to this email shall you have any concerns or questions regarding the migration exercise.
 
 
Where are we migrating / consolidating to?
------------------------------------------
We will be moving all our servers from the present data center at AIMS Data Center @ Level 3 & 5 to AIMS Data Center Level 7.
 
Reasons of major server migration
---------------------------------
1. Improve server troubleshooting time - by consolidating our servers onto a single floor, our engineers will have faster access for any troubleshooting works without needing to travel between the floors. In addition, we will also be shifting our present operation center right into the data center (just a footstep away from the physical servers) so that our engineers can attend to any server issue instantly.
 
2. 24x7 Access to data center by our server co-location clients. Co-location clients will be able to visit the data center in the event of emergency maintenance with shorter notice period.
 
3. More space for future growth and support for your businesses - the space on the new floor will allow us to host up to 200 racks. This provides sufficient space to support any expansion of our valued clients’ hosting requirements with immediate availability.
 
What will happen during the migration?
--------------------------------------
1. We will shut down and unplug the servers, and move them from their respective floors to the new data centre on Level 7.
 
2. A downtime is to be expected during the migration exercise. Please be assured that we will keep you informed of the migration exercise BEFORE, and AFTER the migration.
 
3. A separate detailed announcement will be sent to you regarding the actual date of migration of your hosting services/servers.
 
4. There will be NO changes of IP addresses to your hosting accounts/servers upon the completion of the migration.
 
Thank you very much for your attention.
 

Best Regards,
Verve Art Support
