There was a major scheduled datacenter move, which I've known about for a week now. It was scheduled to be 4-6 hours in the middle of the night (starting at 12am EST this morning). I should have posted an announcement regarding this downtime, but I kinda lost track of my days, I was thinking it was 12am EST tonight (not last night)... by the time I realized it was happening they'd already took the network down. Anyway, that was totally my bad :o Many apologies for that.
Apparently there were thousands of servers and routers to be physically moved 8 miles to the new datacenter facility on a convoy of trucks, so it wasn’t a small job... but it was a move gone very bad :( NAC (the old NOC) caused some ridiculous, unexpected delays when they went to move the servers out... which ultimately threw the schedule off. Every web host who uses this NOC has also been out for the duration, it turned into a real mess :rolleyes:
Anyway, the last 3 of F5's servers just came back on the same block, including ours. We're now safely in the new and improved NOC running smoothly, whew!
Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
