[Its-colocation-customers] 6/1 Sliger Building Power Outage Update

[Mitch Gans]

Greetings,

Power at the Sliger Building has been restored, but we are still on temporary cooling until later today, so we are encouraging customers to bring up their equipment tomorrow, if possible. All will be fully functional before morning.

We have already reached out to customers who switched to Generator last week, who must switch back to City power before noon tomorrow, Wednesday, June 2, as the Generator is being turned off at noon tomorrow.

I have begun to personally contact those of you with whom we worked last week to shut down before the outage. You are free to start turning on your equipment remotely asap tomorrow morning, or contact me directly if you must come up today, or let me know when you would like to arrive tomorrow to power back up your equipment.

Best Regards,

The RCC Team

Subject: [Hpc-notice] POWER OUTAGE UPDATE: RCC administrative and storage services coming online; HPC remains offline

Hi RCC users,

The Sliger Building has been buzzing with activity for the past five days while a variety of vendors have working to get the data floor ready for operations.

Power is fully restored.  We are currently waiting for HVAC to be fully restored. We are hoping that happens within the next hour or two.

After that, we will begin bringing online RCC services. We anticipate that we can start bringing things up within the next few hours. We will focus on our administrative and storage services first, and then slowly bring online the 700+ hardware nodes that comprise the HPC.

Since there a still a lot of unknowns and the power is actively being worked while I am typing this message, we are still unsure of the exact timeline. However, we will send at least one more update out before 5pm, or when we get specific services online, whichever comes first.

We are not ready to pull CoLo customers off the generator yet. Mitch Gans will send a notice out about that when we are confident that the center is fully operational.

Thanks for your continued patience.

Best regards,
The RCC Team
