4. Migrating IX services to our new partner
What are we doing?
As you are aware Xoserve is changing it’s network service provider from Vodafone to Gamma and therefore will be replacing your IX equipment. We are now asking that you complete a Site Survey to enable us to capture your site information.
Alongside our separation from National Grid the Vodafone IX contract was also coming to an end which meant we had the opportunity to consolidate all our network services under one contract. All current hardware, except new or recently upgraded sites, is five to seven years old and needs to be replaced as ‘end of life’.
Why are we doing this?
Gamma will provide all service up to and including the router (network services) – Gamma will be responsible for the set up of connections and maintenance of them (as per current contract).Gamma’s partners will be responsible for the server and related software & on-going maintenance of it.
Who is providing
the service?
When Will it happen?
Implementation begins with a pilot in June with full migration from July 18 until Nov 18. If you are a new customer or have upgraded your IX service since March 2018 migration may be post November 2018

5. Site Survey – For Completion
The survey will enable us to capture accurate contact details, access requirements, site specifications and site specific procedures ensuring we have up to date information to plan your programme of work and appropriate appointments.
It is essential that we capture and update all of your requirements and we really need your assistance in completing this survey. The information you provide will be shared with Gamma and their sub-contractors to enable them to migrate you to the new IX Service.
Your site survey is attached which we need you to complete by Friday 4th May, together with a completed example version and instructions for guidance. Please return the completed survey to

Please open the below for the Site Survey. We have created this survey in an Excel format rather than an on-line format, as we recognise you may need to send this document to various individuals within your organisation to complete. We advise to save the survey as a local copy and return to Xoserve.
Please review the Read Me! worksheet within the Site Survey for instructions on how to complete the survey. In addition, we have also added a Dummy form to assist completion.
