Planned maintenance window on October 24, 2021, 19:00 CEST

In order to maintain WebTranslateIt’s service we will have to take the service down for a hardware maintenance.

One of our database memory module is defective and needs to be replaced.

In order to do this upgrade we will need to be unavailable on Sunday, October 24th 2021, 19:00 CEST (Paris Time) as the server is being repaired. We expect the downtime to not exceed 2 hours. The website will be unavailable from Sunday, October 24th 2021, 19:00 CEST to Sunday, October 25th 2021, 21:00 CEST.

As always, we’ll keep you updated on this blog post and we’ll also post live updates on @webtranslateit on Twitter.

We apologize for this planned downtime and for announcing it at such a short notice, but this is due to an unexpected hardware failure.

Edit 23/10/2021 at 15:08: On top of swapping the memory module, we will perform a full hardware check, which will increase the maintenance window to 30 minutes more. So the website will be down from Sunday, October 24th 2021, 19:00 CEST to Sunday, October 25th 2021, 21:30 CEST.
Edit 24/10/2021 at 20:46: We’re now back online. The faulty RAM module has been successfully changed. Network engineers still need to investigate a network issue which seems to be situated at switch level. Since the issue isn’t urgent and doesn’t require any downtime it will be investigated tomorrow during business hours.
