[a.harris]

At 22:16PM CEST, the iRacks network went offline due an unknown (as of yet) cause.

3 technicians were dispatched to the datacentre to take control of the situation and we should have an update within the next 10 minutes together with a live network.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this outage.

Due to this outage, our mail and support system is currently offline but this has brought us to realise the worthyness of a backup system in a seperate network. We should have a backup system running by the end of the weekend in case of any further emergencies.

I shall keep you updated via this post over the coming few minutes.

All has been resolved,

There was a power outage to router (power block died).

We shall be placing a Backup 45Minute UPS Battery System on the network this weekend to cover us for slightly longer.

Sorry once again for the inconvenience.

Outage was resolved at 22:53 CEST. 27 minutes after the initial fault.
