Server Outage over weekend was created by darragh
Hi,

The IFAS website was down over the weekend due to an electrical explosion in the data centre where the server is hosted.
Unfortunately, the explosion damaged a lot of electrical switching gear and took out 3 walls in the main switching gear room.
Data centre staff were not allowed to switch backup generators for power due to safety concerns with the main electrical switches.
This lead to a significant amount of downtime for the over 7000 servers that the data centre hosts while the switching gear was repaired.

Regards

Seriously, I hope nobody was hurt and their insurance covers for this sort of thing.

Emu by the looks of it. Curious and grumpy birds that because they are at eye level when you take a picture of them often decide to see if your camera is edible.
