Our engineers will be installing a new UPS in the Mill One main comms rack on the afternoon of Friday 1st August. From 17:00 BST we will perform a cut-over to the backup connectivity to the Mills campus to swap the power feed connected to the primary path (the 10G fibre NTE). During these works, which should last only a few minutes, connectivity speeds will be reduced.
