Possible system delays or short outages Thursday

The network operations center has informed us that some network routers need to be replaced sometime Thursday. You may experience a short outage or system delays while the work is being done.

There is no need to contact us, as we will be very aware of any outage, and the system should return to service quickly if it does go down for a few minutes.

Server outage 0630 UTC today - Fixed

We had a problem with one of our backups running out of disk space, which temporarily halted database activity. It has been fixed.

The backup file was over 300 gigabytes in size. We received the alert at 0622 UTC and immediately found the problem. We freed up enough disk space to restart the backup, and it finished without any problems.

The system was running again at 0745 UTC.
