There has been a wide-spread power outage in the Dallas-Fort Worth area that is curently affecting hundreds of customers, including our Colocation Facility. The facility has backup/redundant power generators, which are operational. However, that power outage caused some issues with one of the ATS'(Automatic Transfer Switch) that provides the backup power to the facility. This most likely was caused by the heat related rolling blackouts that area has been experiencing recently.
Right now the facility maintenance, vendors, and power company are all working on the problem and it has been determined that the ATS will need repairs that will take time to perform. Fortunately the Datacenter has another ATS that is on-site that can be used as a spare. Contractors are working on a solution right now that will allow them to safely bring that ATS in and use it as a spare while that repair is happening.
