The agency said in a statement on Thursday that it plans to take advantage of the long weekend to do maintenance and upgrade the electrical infrastructure at its data centre in Centurion in Pretoria. The work will begin at 4pm on Thursday and conclude sometime on Sunday, it said.
"This planned intervention targets the long weekend where disruption to services can be minimised and forms part of Sita's investment and commitment to enhance service delivery capability of government," the agency said in the statement.
"The upgrade will focus on the UPS output, which will enable continuous distribution of electricity directed especially at critical installations at the facility," it added.
The upgrades will ensure greater reliability of the services provided by government agencies from the Centurion data centre, it said.
"The infrastructure upgrade forms part of the plans to build more redundancy and will remove the single point of failure in our UPS [backup system] and establish an additional power supply path with physically separated electrical distribution boards.
