  • **MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT**

    We have been working with our Hardware Vendors over the last few months in preparation for major upgrades to our Core Towers in the Northern Area.

    As you can appreciate this is a major undertaking both in planning and deployment. We are also facing shortages in supply of hardware to facilitate.

    Simply just offering a service is one thing, but being able to deliver it is another. We are conscious of this and want to keep providing a quality and reliable service that you all expect.

    Network Upgrades have commenced as of 16th of May 2022 and will be continuing during off peak to minimise downtime.

    Hardware has arrived late June 2022 and we have commneced our build, depending on COVID and weather.


    So what will this mean for Kern Users?
    New Plans for both Residential and Business Grade Customers.

    We will announce more as the project unfolds.

  • As part of the South Australian Emergency Management (COVID-19) (Stay at home) Direction 2021 which will come into effect at 6.00pm on Tuesday 20th 2021, KernWi-Fi are continuing to provide essential services to high priority customers.

    Essential workers are deemed if they perform work that is essential for the continued operation of an essential infrastructure and essential service (within the meaning of the Essential Services Act 1981).

    Telecommunications (internet, VoIP, NBN, fixed wireless) is an essential infrastructure and required to ensure telecommunications and internet connections are operating at sufficient capacity for medical departments, Government agencies, home and business.

    While in operation, and in line with current advice from the Australian Government and health authorities, we continue to  implement  a safety management plan across the business with a focus on a range of specific preventative and proactive measures to ensure our actions and behaviours help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our day to day to operations.

    As we understand, information is being updated daily and we are taking every action to keep up-to-date with the latest recommendations and advice from Government.  

    Impact on current KernWi-Fi Services

    We are doing our upmost to continue to provide the level of support we always have, however, in these unprecedented times we appreciate your patience as we work through providing support according to the level of priority (i.e. non-essential support will be given lower priority). Priority will be given to Medical Departments and Government Agencies requiring urgent assistance.

    Given the significant increase in the number of people now working from home, KernWi-Fi is already experiencing a significant escalation in the demand for our services to accommodate connection to new ‘home offices’.  We continue to assess bandwidth and data requirements for these businesses.

    Existing services:  As an existing client, you will continue to access our services and support, however, we ask that you please be patient and understand that assistance will be assessed based on the level of priority.

    Risk Mitigation Measures

    Our greatest priority at this time is to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff and their families and continue to provide a safe environment for our clients, suppliers and contractors. Thus we are taking extra effort to respond responsibly.

    While our team is working from home, our technicians who are required to attend your home/business/medical practice will be taking precautionary measures and adhere to the following guidelines:

    • Visits will be rescheduled if there are any unwell individuals in your home or business

rdp Server Maintenance (Resolved)
  • Priority - Medium
  • Affecting System - Kern rdp Servers
  • Kern will be undertaking scheduled platform maintenance:

    Saturday September 5th 8pm - Sunday September 6th, 5am (AEST)
     

    We've identified that this maintenance will impact you. Please continue reading to understand the implications.

    What is this maintenance for?

    We will upgrade our cloud orchestration layer to the latest version. The upgrade is necessary as it will provide the following significant benefits:

    • Ability to live migrate customer servers across hypervisor hosts in a single region
    • Perform upgrades of the hypervisor with little or no downtime during planned and unplanned maintenance windows
    • Improved API that supports future product capabilities

    Overall, the upgrade will further improve the stability and performance of Kern.

    How will I be impacted?

    In order to upgrade the cloud orchestration layer we need to restart each customer network across our infrastructure. Since the network is the gatekeeper to your Ninefold servers, you will be unable to access your servers, and your servers will be unable to access the internet while your network is restarted.

    Your servers will be uncontactable for two 20 minute periods across our maintenance window. As the restart is done on a rolling basis, we cannot provide expected times for your specific servers, however we have scheduled the change at a time that will have the least impact to most of our customers.

    In the instance you have a Global Load Balancer and redundant services across 2 regions, you should not experience downtime unless your redundant services rely on services behind a network that is being restarted.

    How long? 

    We will commence maintenance at 8:00PM AEST, Sept 5. The maintenance window is expected to be 9 hours. Your servers will be unavailable for two 20 minute periods, not the entire maintenance window.

    The maintenance impacts all Regions. Networks will be restarted sequentially, in the following order:

    • Software upgrade (8PM - 9:30PM)
    • Asia Pacific 2 (9:30PM AEST - approx 12:30AM AEST)
    • Asia Pacific 1 (approx Sept 6 12:30AM* AEST - 5AM AEST)

    All times provided are approximate. We will proceed immediately to Asia Pacific 1 network restarts once Asia Pacific 2 is complete, regardless of the time.

    Are there any other functions unavailable during this maintenance?

    The following Ninefold platform components will be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance window:

    • Any server provisioning or modification through the Kern Portal
    • Kern API

    What functions are available during the maintenance window?

    You will be able to communicate with Kern support via tickets.

    What can be expected once the maintenance window is complete?

    All servers that were running prior to the maintenance window will be accessible at the end of the region's maintenance window.

    If you find any issues once the maintenance window is complete, please raise a ticket and our support staff will investigate at their first opportunity.

    Where can I track status?

    We will provide regular updates. If you have any issues or questions, please contact our customer support team by raising a ticket.
