Dear Valued Customers,

Happy New Year!  H4Y continues to grow at an ever increasing rate and we have had incredible demand in Los Angeles, among other locations.   As a response to this demand and to modernize our infrastructure, we have planned an expansion and migration of our space in our Los Angeles, CA (CA1 - Aptum) datacenter.   During the dates of January 17th thru 19th (all day and evening), we will be migrating servers into new space that has already been provisioned.   We have mirrored our network settings in both locations and we plan to move machines one by one.   While the maintenance will be ongoing from Jan 17th thru 19th, the actual downtime for any server should not exceed 1-2 hours, but we have calculated and allotted time for up to 4 hours per node in case there are unexpected issues or emergencies as we go.   This announcement pertains to all of our colo, dedicated, shared, reseller, and VPS clients in Los Angeles, CA (Aptum formerly Peer 1) only.
We have many Asian clients in this facility so we have opted to move the Asian clients during night-time hours in Asia, and USA clients will be moved during off peak hours in the US respectively.   We have planned this to cause the least amount of disruption possible.
The resulting improvements should be many: a higher capacity network, more redundancy in every fashion, modern switching and routing equipment, more organized cabling, and of course room to expand.   We will enjoy new on-net providers and more options for cross connects to other ISPs and internet exchanges.
