Catastrophic Power Failure

Posted: 7 minutes ago Updated: 1 minute ago

We experienced a catastrophic power failure of both primary and redundant power, street power, UPS, and generator. Power is back on now and we are bringing everything back online.

We don't yet know the reason for the power failure.


Interesting update:

> We've received a preliminary explanation from the data center that suggests that a battery test went horribly wrong due to human error and wiped out at least the entire floor we're on. Possibly more. It's not clear yet.


Nice to see an accurate (offsite) status page!
