[ensembl-announce] loss of ensembl services

[Stephen Trevanion]

Dear all,

Urgent maintenance is required on some of the Ensembl hardware. As a 
consequence all Ensembl services based at Hinxton will be unavailable 
from 4pm BST this afternoon. We expect this to last for no longer than 
30 minutes. The services affected will be the websites (www.ensembl.org, 
archive sites, vega.sanger.ac.uk, pre.ensembl.org) and the MySQL servers 
(ensembldb.ensembl.org and martdb.ensembl.org). The website and database 
mirrors will be unaffected. Apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Regards,

Steve
