Virginia data-center power outage

By Netnibble Support | October 20, 2007

This morning VENUS, our backup mail, monitoring and DNS server located in Virginia, USA was caught by a total power blackout at the datacenter, and was off-line for approximately 94 minutes.

Fortunately, Venus rebooted cleanly when power was restored and no customers experienced any loss of service.

We would also like to praise the data-center staff for their rapid reaction to this incident – Serverbeach, the proprietors of the data-center, immediately flagged this up as a serious incident with their holding company, PEER1, and additional technicians from two other data-centers were dispatched by air to Virginia to assist in any server recoveries that were necessary.
