Scheduled server downtime this Sunday

This is an early notice that there will be some scheduled downtime for Olmec, Nazca and Aztec this Sunday morning. We need to alter the power network and so will have to disconnect some of the servers in order to do this.

We'll post an update shortly before we take it offline. The outage window should only be about 15 minutes, possibly even faster if there are no issues but then there often are in these situations.

Futher more there will be another outage approximately a week later in order to carry out further maintenance to the power network. We will also be using this window to carry out some software upgrades and so expect the window to last an hour.

Finally, in the time between the two maintenance windows we will be running on limited uninterruptible power systems and so while we don't expect to have any outages, if the local power does fail the servers will be taken offline quickly.
