At approximately 4PM this afternoon we received multiple reports of outbound calls failing to complete on our voice network. We traced the problem to an upstream provider and have presently routed around them.

Fusion/Flexlink Voice Issues

We are currently experiencing issues with in and outbound calling through our voice platform. Our engineers are working on identifying and resolving the problem ASAP.

– Noc

Update: All call issues should be resolved as of around 1:50PM. We are presently working on a root cause analysis and will provide more information as it becomes available.

Mail Cluster Degraded Performance

At approximated 17:15 this evening, one of the 4 clustered enterprise class filers that handles email storage started to show unexplained high CPU utilization leading to slow I/O performance.  This may have resulted in slow interactive performance or even some timed-out connections for POP3 or IMAP for approximately 25% of our users. 15 minutes later we issued a partner takeover, and a few minutes after that, a partner giveback to affect as clean a reboot of the affected system.  At this time things seem to be behaving normally but we are keeping a close eye on these systems.

-Kelsey and Nathan

Update:  This issue is ongoing and we are working to resolve.  We have no ETR at this time.  -Kelsey

Update:  We believe we have identified the source of the problem and resolved it for the time being.  It looks like the root cause may actually be a software defect of sorts in the IMAP server and not the filer.  -Kelsey

Major Core Power Work

Update (3:00AM):  This work has been successfully completed.

Tomorrow night, Tuesday October 15th, beginning at 11:00 PM, we will be performing major power work within a core datacenter in Northern California. While we expect no customer impact during this procedure, due to the length and nature of this operation we are starting earlier than normal but plan on taking on the potentially intrusive work after  midnight.
