Tuesday's Site Outage

[webmaster]

What a way to start the new year! At 8:12 am today the data center that hosts my server had a major failure that caused 6 hours and 40 minutes of downtime. Sorry for the inconvenience.

For all you techies out there here is the most recent status report on the failure:

The WALTHAM, MA facility is experiencing a complete outage. We have updated information confirming that both the primary and secondary redundant fiber paths went down. The primary fiber uplink went down earlier this weekend, and before engineers could restore it to full operation, the secondary fiber link went down this morning at about 8:12 AM EST. Savvis does have engineers working on the issue with the highest priority. This is affecting ALL customers of Savvis in their Boston 1 and Boston 2 datacenters.

The site does still seem to be a little slow but that should clear as the data center is brought back to full capacity.

Thanks for your patience.
