There wasn't an actual fire I don't think:


At 10:20 am this morning, we had a component failure in the UPS at our Site B co-location facility in Parsippany, NJ. We had no warning of this failure, and we are currently investigating the cause. This failure triggered the fire alarms and the fire suppression system, and caused the UPS unit to drop all power to Site B. In addition, because this failure caused the fire alarms to be set off, the entire building had to be evacuated while the fire department investigated. NAC personnel worked with the fire department to ensure the building environment was safe to re-enter.


Some of the core switching equipment in Parsippany was affected by this UPS failure and power outage and had to be moved to a backup power system. At approximately 12:00pm the fire department allowed all personnel to re-enter the building.



The power failure did not affect any customers located at our Newark, NJ site or any services in any other states.



We are currently assessing any on-going issues, but most services have been restored. We will post an additional update as more information becomes available.



If you have any questions please feel free to call us.

Sorry to miss it, I was 'outside' this morning in the 'world' that's that big space you find when you leave your computer and open a door

Really unfortunate, right now my friend's sites: webdesignforums.net and turtletalk.net are down. I told him to call their tech support line, and he never gave me an update on it.

Yes RH Robert, I left my computer. It's a tough thing to do - but sometimes I have to do it

I was forced to undertake a foraging expedition for food

I always order online...you mean there is another way? I think I heard my parents mention something called a "grocery store" once, but I thought they were joking.... :)

No, but only the primitive heathens use them.

We need to teach them the futility of resisting the will of the computer.

Agent Robert, Agent Revue...Show them how we do things in the Matrix.
