[AusNOG] Vocus Datacentre outage.

Tue Mar 14 11:40:01 AEDT 2023

Have 100% had A and B fail separately at SY1 but never both, thankfully!!!

Could have been part of the facility though so don’t quote me.

UK on the other hand, fail!

SY1 had A or B fail a few years back if my memory serves me correctly.  But I was referring  London and Manchester which both had total outages in recent years.

Yea because Eqinix has never had a power outage. :)

I think it's a little premature to judge at the moment. Doesn't sound good based on the current info but we have all had bad days im sure.

Doesn't say a whole lot about Vocus' data center design methodology, nor their periodic contingency testing.

They're apparently replacing the entire UPS on Friday - guess we can all expect more outages then when they stuff that up.

Thought I would create a new thread on this, as the issue wasn’t related to AussieBB.
It is looking like this Melbourne outage is similar to the Sydney outage back in 2018, in that it appears to have been yet again caused by an issue with their UPS systems yet again.
I’ll leave this hear https://www.arnnet.com.au/article/633314/servers-australia-uproots-services-after-vocus-data-centre-outage/ and this article on today’s outage as well.
