Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Gyron (and details of our closing times!)

We would like to announce that this year we will be operating a network and provisioning moratorium between 1700 Friday 19th December 2008 until 09:00 Monday 5th January 2009 (times are GMT).

Throughout this period, sales, accounts and billing staff will also be unavailable. Support will be operating a reduced service, however we will, of course, be maintaining our 24/7 presence of on-site support engineers should you require any assistance.

Service provisioning and any kind of network changes such as IP address additions, network drops and VLAN changes will be unavailable. Customers with managed firewall solutions can still get support as usual for urgent rule changes as required, and full functionality on our Customer Portal at https://portal.gyron.net/ will be maintained to manage your contact details, view invoices, set up reverse DNS, submit access requests, view delivery details and much more!

Merry Christmas from Gyron

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Gyron!

Instead of sending out Christmas cards this year we have again made a donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children where over 150,000 sick children are treated every year.

2008 has been a good year for Gyron, so we want to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for their support and business over the previous 12 months, and wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Installation of new fibre chambers at Centro

Work is under way by our contractors at the new facility to install our diverse dark fibre connections.

We are installing two diverse chambers on to our provider’s national fibre duct route, and running our own private diverse ducts back to separate North and South comms rooms within our Centro facility.

Here’s the South chamber:

Here’s the North chamber. The separation distance between the two chambers is over 200m, giving excellent diversity.
