Scheduled
Starting on the 26th October, we will be performing our annual black building test where we simulate a mains power failure to the building. This maintenance period covers a 3 day window where we will have engineers performing pre-tests, the main generator test itself, and finally post-test checks to ensure that everything worked as expected.

We do not expect any problems or outages, however this period should be considered at-risk as there will be contractors and engineers on-site as well as transitions to and from generator power.
