Greetings FL-IX Members,

On Wednesday, December 4^th, at 12:01am Eastern Time, we will be replacing the edge switch members connect to at DataBank (36 NE 2^nd St, Suite 700, Miami) with a higher capacity switch, as well as replacing the existing patch cables.

Estimated downtime for members at this location will be up to three (3) hours, however, our maintenance window will be from 12:01am to 5am Eastern time. We will of course try to minimize downtime as best we can.

For the duration of the maintenance, we will block BGP traffic only to those members affected by the maintenance as described in BCP 214. Sessions will re-establish after the maintenance has concluded. No action is required on your part. To those members not directly connected to this switch, you will see sessions go down to the members that are directly connected, so please keep that in mind.

Regards,

Randy Epstein

Executive Director
