Maintenance Notifications

Maintenance and outage notifications are emailed to the company contacts assigned to the Technical role. Company contacts are different from users.

You can review and manage contacts from the portal by selecting Admin > Company Contacts.

NOTE: Only Admin users have permission to add or update contacts.

You can also view all previously sent notifications by selecting Support > Notifications. This includes additional details such as who has received each notification. All users can view this information.

Maintenance notices fall into two groups:

Scheduled maintenance: This is routine maintenance to ensure the stable and reliable operation of our network infrastructure. This includes software upgrades, infrastructure augmentation, and any other work that can be planned in advance.; PacketFabric will provide at least 10 business days notice prior to any service interruption, and any service interruption always occurs between 12:00 am to 6:00 am in the local timezone of the affected location.
Emergency maintenance: If emergency maintenance is necessary, PacketFabric will attempt to provide as much notice as possible and will email all Technical contacts defined in the portal.
