Scheduled Maintenance in Frankfurt data center May 6, 2018 07:00-09:00 UTC

Upgrading Frankfurt data center network infrastructure.
During this time all cloud traffic will be routed to US data center - degraded performance may be occurred.

Many German Check Point customers use Cloud Geo Restriction (sk97877) to make sure their data don't leave Frankfurt, Germany. What happens with their data when Frankfurt is in maintenance mode? Will their traffic be routed to the US or will their configuration be respected?

Hi Danny,

with geo restriction the files were queued on the gateways until the datacenter in Germany was up again.
