What a night! Problems at 2 different datacenters, at exactly the same time. We are trying to get it fixed now… It seems:

shells(SharkTech – Chicago) + oblivion(AwkNet – Los Angeles) both took an outage tonight.

Shells was brought down for a bad stick of memory that was replaced and the box is now functional. The entire AwkNet datacenter went down tonight due to a fiber issue with the exchange. Teams are working to get it back up and bring it up temporarily on Cogent so that customers are back online until WV is fully repaired.

Due to the reboot on: shells.serverorigin.com (208.98.1.185) you will need to login and restart your processes.
We are terribly sorry due to the inconvenience this has caused and we are working to improve the situation as we speak. Everyone should be back online very soon and we thank you for your patience.

Thanks,

Kevin Hatfield

Box rebooted for memory stick replacement that has gone bad. Sorry for any inconvenience. This seems to be an isolated issue with the server or its connection. This is not affecting other servers in the Sharktech datacenter. The Awknet datacenter has been affected by a fiber outage at WV. They are working to bring us up on Cogent until the WV link is repaired.
