Thank you for your patience and understanding.
24.03.2024 UPDATE:
We want to provide you with the latest update regarding the ongoing restoration efforts following the recent outage at the data center in Strasbourg.
Our teams have been tirelessly working around the clock, 24/7, to bring back the systems online. We are pleased to inform you that there have been notable improvements in the DNS situation.
However, we must also inform you that the external company tasked with removing the damaged batteries found that power cables were destroyed due to the burn in the Battery room. These power cables connect to the DC room where your server is located.
To address this setback, we have engaged a company to bring new power cables. The weight is 19 tons, and they will need to be transported by truck. Unfortunately, due to mobility restrictions and the inability for special vehicle types to move on the roads during Sundays, we are forced to wait until Monday morning at 8 am for their arrival.
Regrettably, this means that we do not expect power to be fully restored before Tuesday morning. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause and assure you that we are doing everything possible to expedite the process.
Please be assured that we will continue to provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
UPDATE 23.03.2024:
We want to keep you informed that restoration efforts are still ongoing. Our dedicated teams are tirelessly working around the clock to bring the infrastructure back online.
The damage to the electricity grid is being addressed by an external company, and necessary replacements are currently underway.
While our DNS may still be experiencing some intermittent issues, rest assured that we have implemented measures to alleviate these issues, and we anticipate gradual improvements.
Unfortunately, we are still unable to provide an estimated time for full restoration at this moment. However, we assure you that updates will be promptly provided on our website as soon as they become available.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disruption this incident has caused. Your patience and understanding during this challenging time are greatly appreciated.
22.03.2024 UPDATE 2:
We are currently in the process of bringing the main routers back online, which will allow servers unaffected by the power outage to become reachable again. We're pleased to report that many servers that were affected have already been restored.
Our teams are diligently working on bringing all internal and external systems back up and running. Although we do not have an estimated time for full restoration at the moment, we anticipate having more updates for you tomorrow.
22.03.2024 UPDATE:
We've gained access to the datacenter premises after receiving approval from our datacenter provider and local authorities, ensuring that the environment is now safe for our team to begin restoration efforts.
21.03.2024 UPDATE:
We are currently experiencing an infrastructure incident in our Strasbourg DC.
There was a water leakage in one of the rooms where batteries are located.
This affected the located batteries in this room which forced the DC to turn off the power of the room where your server or part of our network infrastructure is located in.
We are currently waiting for green light to activate the power in that room again.
Your server is NOT affected by any water damage but might be powered off.
As next step, electrical specialists evaluate if and how the electrical infrastructure can be restored and power switched back on. This external vendor is working during the night on this.
Due to the complexity of this damaged UPS system, we no longer expect that our services can be restored today.
We assure you that our team is working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
We understand the inconvenience this have caused, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption to your services.
