Power Outage at TATA Stratford Facility

[Guest louise]

November 26th, Power Outage at TATA Stratford Facility

 

One of the largest London Providers of transit went splat !

 

This appears to be affecting a number of large providers, including ServerCity and Coreix amongst others

 

As of 4:48pm grid power has been lost to the facility, the UPS systems took over as expected however the generators did not come online, a power engineer has been on site and resolved this issue, we are currently working to bring all racks and servers back online.

 

POWER RETURNED, RACKS BEING POWERED UP IN PHASES

 

The above estimate has come from the power engineer on site, please note that once power has been restored to the site we will begin a phased start up of all servers starting with core infrastructure, we expect to complete the initial power up within 30 minutes of the above times however support will be slow to react for several hours afterwards.

Datacenters not learn that you need to test generators ??? How many times have we seen generators failing...

I have just been told the DC is AT RISK for the next 8 hours while the UPS re-charges.

 

Fingers crossed everyone who has servers there.
