Well, for the first time in our history we got to use our generators. We have been very lucky for 10 years, but it was bound to happen. This morning (6/4/08), Reno Nevada was hit by a major power outage. Our systems flipped over to our generator and worked like a charm, but our network room for some reason did not. We were able to resolve that problem by pulling power from our DataCenter to our Network Room. During that time, our network appeared offline although the servers were all up and running.
We apologize if this outage caused you any troubles. We are working on a plan to prevent this from happening again (well, our part - we cant help the power company).
As of this posting, power has been restored, and we will be flipping back to standard power in the next few minutes.
