ImageSilo Maintenance Notification – Aug. 17, 2018

Start Date: August 17, 2018 (Friday)
Start Time: 20:00 (MDT)
Finish Date: August 20, 2018 (Monday)
Finish Time: 04:00 (MDT)

Purpose: Move all services to our new ImageSilo Amazon Web Services infrastructure.

Customer Impact: ImageSilo engineers will be moving all ImageSilo services to our Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Engineers will transition customer databases from our data center to AWS over the course of the weekend. The customer impact for each of those database transitions will depend on the size of the database, with service interruption for those customers expected to be anywhere from a few minutes up to two hours during their respective transition. Towards the middle of the transition process, engineers will move the core database (which redirects entities to their appropriate database). This core database move is expected to involve a service interruption for approximately thirty (30) minutes, affecting all customers. Customers that are accessing ImageSilo during the weekend may notice degraded performance if their database is not local to the web farm that serves ImageSilo traffic (i.e. databases at data center with web traffic in AWS or vice versa). Engineers will also be swinging operations for all web traffic from our data center to AWS. No additional customer impact is expected for this change. We appreciate your patience as we continue to improve the ImageSilo service.

Purpose: Address degraded database server

Customer Impact: ImageSilo engineers are investigating a degradation of one of the database clusters. Engineers will work to resolve the issues on the cluster, during which testing may cause brief periods (expected to last approximately 2 minutes) of inaccessibility for some (but not all) customers as the cluster is failed-over.

ImageSilo Informational Message – Jul. 12, 2018

Date: July 12, 2018 (Thursday)

This informational message is intended to provide an updated notification related to moving all ImageSilo services to our Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. In an effort to ensure a smooth roll-out, our quality assurance and engineering teams have been working diligently for months to validate the operations of ImageSilo on the AWS platform to ensure we deliver you the highest quality service that you have become accustomed to since its inception in 1999.  Late in the process of validation, our quality assurance and engineering teams discovered some potential performance issues, many of which might not even be noticeable to the vast majority of our customers.  However rather than risk any potential issue the team agreed that it would be best for all our stakeholders if we took the extra time necessary to ensure the integrity of service we have traditionally provided.  Needless to say this has been a long process and we are as anxious as anyone to achieve this milestone.  However, if our history as the most trusted cloud-based ECM in the world has taught us anything, we have learned that patience always pays off when it comes to large undertakings such as this.

Given the nature and timing of our findings we will want to complete a ground up internal validation process on the ImageSilo AWS platform. As such, as of this notification we have not set a firm date for the maintenance, but we expect it in August.  Rest assured however that as soon as we establish that date we will give you at least a one-week notification.  Our quality assurance and engineering teams have one goal and that is to do it once and do it right the first time.

As always, we appreciate your business. If you have any questions or comments, please contact our ImageSilo Administrators at siloadmin@imagesilo.com or toll-free at 866.374.3569.

ImageSilo Informational Message – Apr. 4, 2018

Date: April 4, 2018 (Wednesday)

ImageSilo engineers and developers have addressed and validated the R84 optimizations for ImageSilo. The optimized interface is currently available on the temporary test site (https://test.imagesilo.com). However, a software defect related to certain date formats is being addressed before the final ImageSilo R84 release and should be implemented tomorrow. In deference to the requests we have received that the new https://login.imagesilo.com site not be cut-over in the later part of the work week, we plan to perform the cut-over on Monday. We will provide another notification if this plan changes.

Please feel free to contact ImageSilo Administration with any questions or comments.
