UPS, AMF, ATS and Generator Load Testing - January 202106 January 2021, in Data Centre
As part of Web Wiz planned and preventative maintenance regime we will be carrying out load testing on the Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Automatic Mains Failure (AMF), Automatic Transfer Switching (ATS) and Neutral Gas Powered Generator Systems at our Data Centre.
During the test period, the UPS systems will take the full load of the Data Hall while the Generator comes online and the AMF moves the facility to Generator Power. The Generator will take the full load of the facility for a 20 minute period, once the test is completed power to our facility will return to our usual mix of Solar, Battery, and Utility Power. Automatic Transfer Switching (ATS) will move rack power from "A" to "B" Power Feeds before returning each Rack to "A" Power Feeds. At-risk period: Start Date: 12th January 2021 Times work will be carried out: Start Time: 08:00 End Time: 08:30 Service Impact: No impact to services is expected. Reason: This routine maintenance is essential to ensure that the UPS, Generator and Automatic Switching systems work as intended and are able to provide power to our Data Centre in the unlikely event of a Power Outage. |

Christmas Opening Times - December 202023 December 2020As a 24/7/365 company, Web Wiz Support Services team will operate our normal out-of-hours procedure over the festive period with Engineers monitoring all systems night and day to ensure there are no outages. Most Business wind down over the festive period and we therefore only receive a handful of support tickets during this time, but we still aim to be here if you need us while balancing time off for staff to spend with families during this time of year. This year, our staff have worked through the pandemic since March, and therefore will be giving staff a well-deserved break. We will be offering an out-of-hours service only between Christmas Eve and Tuesday 29th December.
If you need to contact us for any reason, we will be open at the following times during the festive period.
We will not be operating our sales phone lines over the festive period this year. We would like to wish all our customers a Good Christmas and a Happy New Year. |
