Brief Site Outtage - Power Failure (June 10, 2009)

There was a brief site outtage today at approximately 8:15pm NY time. Due to a storm, power was knocked out at our Dallas-Fort Worth data center. An Automated Transfer Switch which is supposed to automatically switch over to internal power failed causing an outtage for our server behind the switch. The engineering team manually switched over affected systems to generator power and the site was back online approximately 2 hours later.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Regards,
John and the PortableApps.com Team

Ok / News

Things look like they've settled down. The switch was replaced and is undergoing complete testing to handle it next time.

For anyone curious, this is what was going on:

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
