OBox Maintenance Downtime Notice – 29th December 2007

Posted on by admin

Please be advised that the LogicBoxes System will be undergoing a planned downtime on 29th December, 2007 as per the Maintenance Window given below.

Why this downtime?

The Downtime has been scheduled for system upgradation and an extensive database migration. This downtime will ensure improved system performance, responsiveness and long term scalability.

The time frame for the migration has been selected after much deliberation and we have attempted to schedule it in a fashion that would cause our Registrars and their resellers and customers the least possible inconvenience. The 29th being on a weekend, allows us to make the necessary upgrades without significantly encroaching on regular business hours.

Also, we suggest that you and your Customers renew any Orders that might be up for Renewal before the 29th itself, in order to avoid them from expiring on account of the Downtime.

ICANN’s Registrar Data Escrow (RDE) Program

Posted on by admin

As per ICANN’s announcement dated 9 November 2007, all ICANN-Accredited Registrars are required to deposit a backup copy of their gTLD registration data with ICANN through a Registrar Data Escrow (RDE) service provider. While ICANN has selected Iron Mountain Digital as the designated agent for the RDE program, Registrars can also use a Third Party Provider (TPP) of RDE services at their own expense.

LogicBoxes has decided to integrate with Iron Mountain Digital for the RDE program. Therefore we suggest you respond to the email received from Iron Mountain Digital, and execute the necessary agreements.

We are currently in the early stages of discussing the technical and commercial aspects of this process and will keep you informed about the progress at our end, through subsequent mails.

If you have any queries or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with your LogicBoxes Account Manager.
