Gentile Cliente,

con la presente incubatec informa di lavori di manutenzione pianificati ed altre novita’
importanti. Per domande a riguardo non esitate a contattare support@server24.it.

Data primaria:

  • 2 marzo 2011 ore 00:00 fino alle ore 06:00

Infrastruttura coinvolta:

  • Core Routers DC#1
  • Core Switches DC#1
  • Loadbalancer DC#1
  • Interconnessione in fibra DC#1 <-> DC#2
  • Nameserver ns1.incubatec.net
  • Nameserver ns2.incubatec.net
  • Nameserver ns10.serverclienti.com
  • Windows Virtual Private Server
  • Backup1
  • Connettivita’ IPv4 e IPv6 DC#1

Resoconto delle attivita’ di manutenzione da svolgere:

  • Installazione router aggiuntivi
  • Installazione upstreams 10Gbit/s aggiuntivi
  • Upgrade interconnessione in fibra DC#1 <-> DC#2
  • Installazione Server Loadbalancer aggiuntivo

Impatto per Clienti:

  • I lavori ed aggiornamenti comporteranno un downtime per server dedicati e servizi.
  • In seguito all’installazione dei nuovi routers le connessioni BGP verranno risicronizzate e modificate, questo comportera’ un downtime della connettivita’ tramite i carriers Level3 e Cogent (gli upstream KPN e GBLX non
  • saranno coinvolti).
  • Contemporaneamente verranno installati nuovi switches e al termine di questi upgrades l’interconnessione in fibra tra i due datacenter verra’ potenziata.
  • Tutte queste operazioni sono classificate come ”Service affecting”, cioe’ con alto rischio di downtime. I lavori saranno terminati alle ore 02:30, ma ci riserviamo l’utilizzo della finestra di maintenance fino alle ore 06:00 per far fronte ad eventuali imprevisti.
  • In caso di problemi gravi e’ prevista l’escalazione ai carriers coinvolti ed in extremis il ripristino dell’infrastruttura precedente (rollback).

Next Generation Network: Incremento di banda su upstream KPN

Posted in Current by support on the February 16th, 2011 22:28

Gentile Cliente,

abbiamo concluso con successo l’upgrade dell’upstream con il carrier KPN, incrementando nettamente la banda. Questo e’ il primo di molti upgrades pianificati per l’implementazione del progetto chiamato internamente “Next Generation Network” per portare l’intera infrastruttura di rete e la banda minima delle connessioni a 10 Gbit/s utilizzando hardware Cisco di ultima generazione.

Nelle prossime quattro settimane verranno installati nuovi routers e switches in entrambi i datacenter; i lavori connessi, ausiliari e di manutenzione per il potenziamento della rete verranno svolti durante la notte per minimizzarne l’impatto.

Quali vantaggi ed utilita’ offre questo incremento ed il progetto “Next Generation Network” a me come Cliente?

  1. Ancora piu’ banda disponibile per data center e per collegamenti interni e crossover
  2. Ulteriore ottimizzazione della latenza
  3. Servizi di backup e ripristino tra data center piu’ rapidi
  4. Implementazione di liste ACL lunghe sia per il core-network che per l’edge senza perdita di prestazioni
  5. Nuovi servizi disponibili (Transport, MPLS, VPN, Virtual Storage, Virtual Switch, Virtual Firewall, nuovi servizi Cloud) ad alta prestazione
  6. Rafforzamento della banda disponibile ed ottimizzazione della latenza specialmente verso le reti di clienti finali (fornitori ADSL)
  7. Sistemi di sicurezza, anti-intrusione, ispezione del traffico e mitigazione dDoS all’avanguardia e di ultima generazione

Durante le prossime quattro settimane le date esatte degli aggiornamenti, di manutenzione programmata ed interventi che potenzialmente possono incidere sui servizi o causare eventuali downtimes, saranno preannunciate su questa pagina a tempo debito.

Per ulteriori domande o chiarimenti restiamo sempre a disposizione, non esitate a contattarci.

Stiamo lavorando per offrirVi un servizio ancora migliore!

Next Generation Network: KPN Upstream Upgrade

Posted in Current by support on the February 16th, 2011 21:51

Dear Customers,

we have successfully upgraded our uplink to KPN, this is just the first of a series of upgrades planned for the roll-out of our internal “Next Generation Network” project. We will be fully upgrading all of our network infrastructure in the next four weeks, bringing all network infrastructure connections up to at least 10 Gbit/s using newest Cisco hardware.

We will be adding new routers and switches in both datacenters; upgrade works will take place during the night, so that impact should be minimized.

Why is this upgrade and the Next Generation Network project valuable for You as a customer?

  1. Even more bandwidth will be available per datacenter and per internal connections and crossover-links
  2. Latency should be further improved
  3. Backup- and Restore-services between datacenters will be  even faster
  4. Large ACLs both at the edge and the core of the network will be implementable without performance loss
  5. New services will be availabe (Transport, MPLS, VPN, Virtual Storage, Virtual Switch, Virtual Firewall, new Cloud Services) at an even higher performance
  6. Bandwidth and latency to end-customer networks (like DSL-providers) will be enhanced
  7. Security, Intruder Detection, Traffic Inspection and dDoS Mitigation will be taken to the next level.

The exact dates of the upgrades, planned maintenance and potential service affecting or downtimes will be announced on this status-page in due course within the next 4 weeks.

Should you have any queries or questions, feel free to contact us.

We strive to provide you with even better service!

dDoS ongoing / dDoS in corso / dDoS-Angriff

Posted in Current by support on the January 30th, 2011 22:05

Currently we are experiencing a dDoS-attack to two servers, mitigation is already in progress. Offender IPs are being recorded and forwarded to the authorities for further inspection.

Al momento e’ in corso un attacco dDoS dedicato a due server dedicati, la mitigazione e’ gia’ in corso. I logs degli IP attaccanti vengono registrati ed inoltrati alle autorita’ competenti.

Derzeit findet ein dDoS-Angriff gegen zwei Server in unserem Netzwerk statt, die Mitigation läuft bereits. Die Logs mitsamt angreifender IP-Adressen werden an die zuständige Behörde weitergeleitet.

Ägypten nicht mehr per Internet erreichbar

Posted in Current by support on the January 28th, 2011 12:44

Die wichtigsten Internet-Routen zu Ägypten sind derzeit gestört, auf unseren Routern haben wir ca. 2500 Netzwerke (verteilt auf ca. 50 AS-Nummern) der wichtigsten Provider und Netzwerke in Ägypten verschwinden sehen. Verschiedenen Medienberichten zufolge geht die weltweite Störung der Internet-Verbindung zu und von Ägypten angeblich auf Anweisungen der ägyptischen Regierung zurück.

Wir verfolgen die Routing-Situation und halten Sie am Laufenden.

Traffico bloccato da e verso l’Egitto

Posted in Current by support on the January 28th, 2011 12:41

Le connessioni principali da e verso l’Egitto risultano offline, con circa 2500 subnet (distribuiti in precedenza da circa 50 numeri AS) svaniti dalle tabelle di routing e BGP dei nostri routers centrali. Dai media si presume che il blocco sia causato da un apparente ordine del governo Egiziano.

E’ da desumere un ripristino della connettivita’ egiziana soltanto quando il presunto ordine di blocco del governo Egiziano sia terminato e/o revisionato.

Main Egypt Internet Routes offline – BGP

Posted in Current by support on the January 28th, 2011 12:36

The main internet routes to Egypt are offline, with about 2500 networks (originating from about 50 AS-numbers) vanishing from our core routers BGP and routing tables overnight. From media reports this is a worldwide disruption of traffic in and out of Egypt, presumably after a government order.

Therefore the disruption of traffic to and from Egypt should disappear only after the presumable government order.

Router Telecom Italia in Milano

Posted in Current by support on the January 13th, 2011 17:56

Dal NOC di Telecom Italia / Seabone ci segnalano un router difettoso a Milano con varie connessioni dall’ Italia e dall’estero disturbate.

The NOC of Telecom Italia / Seabone informed us about a defect router in Milano with various connectivity issues both from Italy and abroad.

UPDATE: We are still in contact with TelecomItalia to get the problem solved.
UPDATE2: According to Telecom Italia the problem was solved – Telecom Italia ha segnalato che il problema e’ stato risolto (problema apparentemente causato da un un nuovo peering a Miami):

Dear,
we have had configuration problems so that new peering link in Miami
has been put in down.
Sorry for the inconvenience...best regards.
