What is happening: We are migrating all sites and Business Catalyst application infrastructure from legacy North America data center (located in Ottawa) to a new United States data center (located in New Jersey) in one bulk-move
Target Start Date/Time: 12:00AM Sunday 29 May 2011 (Ottawa) | 9:00PM Saturday 28 May 2011 (US Pacific) | 2:00PM Sunday 29 May 2011 2011 (AEDT) | Check local times here

Target End Date/Time:8:00AM Sunday 29 May 2011 (Ottawa) | 5:00AM Sunday 29 May 2011 (US Pacific) | 10:00PM Sunday 29 May 2011 (AEDT) | Check local times here
How Long Will It Take? We will have a scheduled maintenance window of 8 hours, during which all sites hosted on legacy North America (Ottawa) data center will be unavailable.

What are we doing? We will be replicating all databases between legacy North America and new United States data centers. We will also setup a high-speed direct datalink between the 2 locations, to ensure databases are kept in sync prior to the migration. At the scheduled time of the migration we will reconfigure DNS settings and make other related Business Catalyst architectural changes to point to the new data center. We will also need to restart all web servers.

Customer Impact - During the maintenance window, all sites hosted on our legacy North America data center will experience up to 8 hours of downtime. Affected services include: front-end pages, Admin console, Dreamweaver extension and FTP access.
