We’re thrilled to introduce you to the team who will be steering the ship for the AMO 2024-2025 term! Say hello to our recently elected committee members:
We’ve had to reschedule our October HHEMF meeting originally set for October 10th, 2024.
SGN has announced a delay to its flagship hydrogen for heating project in Scotland. The gas network said that the H100 Fife project is “taking longer than planned” due to supply chain and procurement challenges.
IT disaster recovery testing of the Central Switching Service (CSS) is to be conducted in the Pre-Production test environment, from late April 2024 until early May 2024. Pre-Production is aligned to the Production environment and failover and failback service between the two Azure Regions in pre-production will therefore be representative of what would happen in Production.
There will be no outage to CSS related to this testing. Pre-production testing will ensure recovery procedures can be rehearsed and validated without impact to service users. Testing will also support further analysis of the potential impacts of synchronisation lags between Azure Regions on data to ensure that future incidents can be responded to efficiently and effectively.
If you have any questions or queries about the testing, please contact bcdrteam@smartdcc.co.uk or cssservicedesk@smartdcc.co.uk.
