Scheduled Maintenance - Server Upgrades [Completed]

On Tuesday 16th August between 9pm and Midnight we will be performing some memory upgrades on our load balancers. During this time there may be some disruption to service though we will be attempting to make the upgrade invisible by redirecting traffic to spare load balancers. 

[00:00] - The server upgrade has taken longer than expected however we have managed to keep the service running on our spare servers. We have taken the decision to finish the upgrade as impact is minimal. There may be a couple periods of 1-2 minutes interruption over the next 45 minutes but service should otherwise continue as normal. 

[00:55] - The maintenance is now over and one load balancer upgraded successfully. We will need to schedule another low impact upgrade window in a few days and will put details up as soon as we have confirmed times. Thank you for your patience!
