We're currently upgrading parts of our website. This should not affect your experience, but please accept our apologies if you do encounter any issues.

For a few hours this afternoon, the server that relays requests to the content server on the Digital Strategy website had such a massive volume of requests, it thought it was experiencing a denial of service attack. This didn’t affect any of the online learning resources, or the other websites we run, but it did prove to be one of the most taxing challenges the network engineers had seen.

In the next few weeks we are upgrading many parts of the website so on the off chance you might notice some missing pages or links that do not work.

If you find a link that doesn't work after you have tried it a couple of times - do let us know! Email: BugBusters @ Digital

Our web analytics and data tracking tools are remotely managed by a team developing a new model for website service delivery. It's an experimental project and we're a development partner for a pioneering young technology firm. But pioneering isn't without risk.

Thanks to Craig and Matt on the IT team, we've discovered that our ISP (part of the BT group in the UK) has been restricting our bandwidth, causing slow migration of files.Our bandwidth for office connectivity should give us more than 8megs, but tests today revealed less than 1meg. The fault seems to have resolved itself now but we are monitoring it and interested whether other companies have had a similar experience with BT.

Many thanks

Today the Digital Strategy project workspaces have been unavailable due to a DNS problem that was rectified in the early afternoon. The problem lasted for two hours and only two customers were significantly affected.
