Summary:

Tuesday 29 September, between 00:00 and 05:00, we will be carrying out maintenance on our firewall cluster. During this maintenance, we will be phasing out the current firewalls and replacing them with new ones.

Details:

The current firewall cluster is no longer supported. As the models within the old and new clusters cannot be configured together in a fail-over cluster, the replacement will result in downtime for the services mentioned.
