Scheduled UPS and STS Annual Maintenance.Planned Maintenance

Description

As part of Equinix's ongoing maintenance program, the Annual Maintenance of ME1 UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and STS (Static Transfer Switch) Systems will be performed. Equinix is undertaking this comprehensive maintenance in order to maintain high operational standards and minimize the risk of disruption. During the scheduled window, various maintenance tasks and tests will be undertaken to the UPS systems and associated batteries, as well as the STS systems to ensure all is operating correctly. As the works will be undertaken to one system at a time, they will be performed without disruption to the operational environment and all critical power will continue to be supplied from an active UPS system. However, redundancy will be reduced. Equinix engineers will work to ensure the maintenance does not impact your operations.

Scheduled A2-Power Stream Commissioning SY4Planned Maintenance

Description

Equinix has undertaken an electrical system expansion as part of their predictive load growth management plan in Colo Halls 1, 2, 5 and 6. The associated vendor(s) have installed additional infrastructure elements which will now be integrated into the existing infrastructure without disruption to the operational environment. During this maintenance window, a set of comprehensive scripted tests will be performed, before placing them into active service. For the majority of the scheduled works, there is no expected impact to your critical environment or redundancy; however for the activation of the new equipment, currently scheduled for the 21st of June, switching will take place to transfer the associated load from A5 and A6 onto the new A2 power-stream. During this switching, your critical load will continue to be supported by UPS; however redundancy will be reduced.
