Update: Data Center Backup Power Maintenance

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 22:35:32 -0400

Tonight during repairs to the Engineering backup power system it was discovered that additional hardware will be needed in order to fully restore functionality. We are working with the vendor to acquire and install the additional hardware and are hoping to have this work completed by tomorrow.

At this time the backup power system is in a depreciated state and we are taking precautionary steps to migrate some services to a secondary data center. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
