As you may be aware, a major road traffic accident caused damage to our Forres datacentre’s connection to the Internet.

We have invested in backup capacity and were able to switch to this immediately. We continue to run on this, and there is no disruption to services. We are running below the capacity of the backup line and therefore there should not be any performance issues.

Demon, the service provider, has not yet provided an estimate for restoration of the main connection so we will continue to run using backup capacity until further notice.

In related news, an upgrade is planned for the main fibre optic connection. While we are currently operating below capacity, we will ensure that we are ahead of the curve of future growth.
