Zoho has announced planned maintenance for its Saudi Arabia data center on July 24 and July 31, 2026, between 05:30 AM and 08:30 AM AST on both days. The company stated that the maintenance will occur during non-business hours to minimize disruption to its customers, with all Zoho services expected to remain operational throughout the process, according to zoho.com.
The maintenance is part of Zoho's annual infrastructure upkeep to ensure continued service reliability. Customers are advised to update their whitelists with new IP ranges specific to the Saudi Arabia data center, including 199.67.80.0/23 and 199.67.82.0/23, as well as individual IPs 199.67.80.21 and 199.67.82.21. Zoho has committed to providing updates on the maintenance status via the same forum post and offers support through email and Twitter for any issues encountered during the maintenance window.
This scheduled maintenance reflects standard industry practice for cloud service providers to maintain infrastructure health and security. Zoho's approach to conducting maintenance during off-peak hours aligns with efforts by other SaaS companies to minimize customer impact. The inclusion of specific IP addresses for whitelisting highlights the importance of network configuration in maintaining seamless access to cloud services during such operations.
Customers can expect the maintenance to conclude each day by 08:30 AM AST, with Zoho monitoring service continuity closely. The company’s proactive communication and support channels aim to ensure minimal disruption, reinforcing Zoho’s commitment to service reliability in the Middle East region.
