Well, I thought it would be good to spread the word on an outage coming up on March 22nd for all BlackBerry users. It would seem that there have been a few too many outages for the BlackBerry in the recent past. While the previous outages were unplanned, this outage is a scheduled outage by RIM to implement some database upgrades. What I can't figure out is why RIM hasn't moved to a distributed server model. If they did, they would be able to upgrade the network without affecting customers. Seems a little bit silly if you ask me. When did it become acceptable to drop the services of a couple million people without notifying them? Did you get the information sent to you? I didn't.
Here are the details for the scheduled outage:
Description: Database upgrade for all North American subscribers in the following locations: The Americas
Change Window Start Date and Time: 03/22/08 06:00:00 (GMT)
Change Window End Date and Time: 03/22/08 10:00:00 (GMT)
Downtime Duration: 4 hour(s) and 0 minute(s)
Impact: BlackBerry subscribers may be unable to send or receive messages during the maintenance.
Subscribers may also be unable to register their device, roam in another location, or use other services such as Internet browsing.
BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers may be unable to use the BlackBerry Internet Service web site or perform activities such as creating new accounts, accessing their Internet mailbox, integrating third-party email accounts, or viewing email attachments during the maintenance.
Devices may not receive new service books during the maintenance.
BlackBerry Connect and BlackBerry-enabled devices that require a new PIN may be unable to receive the PIN.
BlackBerry Enterprise Servers may be unable to connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure during the maintenance.
Wireless service providers and device resellers may be unable to use BlackBerry administration web sites or perform activities such as creating subscriber accounts or provisioning services for subscribers during the maintenance. |
