We changed some network configuration in the data center. The result is that we are seeing improved and consistent performance from our internal monitoring of the VMware Communities application. And performance feels better when we navigate the site as well.
While we expected and announced a 20 minute downtime, some issues with our colocation facility resulted in one hour of downtime. And because the changes also involved network configuration, we were not able to post a maintenance page, so we apologize for that.
Please let John and me know if you are seeing performance issues. Or even if you're not, drop us a line. We always love to hear from you.
