[Resolved]DataCentre Network Outage

We are currently facing a network outage in our UK DataCentre, once we have more information it will be posted here.

Update @ 01:49 am – At approximately 00:20 a network issue was detected affecting connectivity to the North cluster.

Our on call engineers were contacted and the problem has been resolved. Service was restored at approximately 01:35. Unfortunately we do not currently have any further details available at this time but will issue them as and when they become available.

We would like to express our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this will have caused. If you are experiencing any problems as a result of this please do not hesitate to contact our support team immediately and we will look into this for you.

Update @ 01:35 am – Connectivity has just come back, still awaiting any news as to what caused this.

Update @ 01:13 am – Just a quick update to say that we still cant get in touch with the DataCentre by any means, we are continuing to call them but as of yet all phone lines are completely dead.

[Resolved] cp1 load issues

cp1 is currently having high load issues which means some customers might see their services down.

We are working to restore service ASAP

Additional Info: The current CP1 will be retiring in the next 2 weeks, as we have a new replacement machine on order based on the latest Xeon Woodcrest platform to put a stop to these load issues. We really appreciate your patience.

Update: We are currently still waiting on on the DC for our KVM to be moved. Appologies for the delay.

Update 2: The machine is failing to boot, we are waiting for further information from onsite staff, on-call staff have been notified and are ready to go to site if required.

Update 3: Things are now back under control and the load will return to normal shortly.
