IMPORTANT: Outcome Health may require Braze’s assistance with disconnecting our primary Internet connection. Our service with RCN is on term through March of 2019. While every effort will be made to disconnect the physical service before we vacate, RCN may be unable to accommodate until after we move out. RCN equipment is located in the 18th floor IDF. RCN will send a fiber technician out to disconnect the service and collect RCN’s media converter. Braze will be required to grant RCN access to perform their work. To make sure Braze’s connections are not disturbed, Outcome Health strongly recommends that Braze’s IT team land their circuit in the 17th floor MDF.

In addition, Yodel has a few circuits that are landed in the 17th floor MDF that have not been relocated. Braze must leave these circuits untouched. Everything in the racks though is able to be utilized by Braze.
