Upcoming network upgrades to improve infrastructure
Over the next few months, Hetzner clients will be receiving a number of network maintenance notices relating to upgrades which will be carried out in our Johannesburg and Cape Town data centres.
The most significant of these upgrades is the movement of our current router systems to Juniper M7i devices. By moving to Juniper equipment we aim to increase reliability and stability on our routers to MTN Business as well as improve redundancy on our switching infrastructure.
The upgrades and required changes will be done following a phased approach so as to minimise the potential of any negative impact. The maintenance windows for each phase will be communicated to you via our network notice system. You can keep informed by checking our network notices board or subscribing to our RSS feeds on our Support Centre.
Hetzner constantly strives towards improving our network infrastructure so that we can offer you an excellent hosting experience, and it is strategic decisions like this which facilitate our clients’ growing network capacity requirements.
