INAP raised an incident on July 10th, 2023 at 17:32 CDT stating that they received reports of loss of connectivity affecting their New Jersey (NYJ) datacenter, and that they had started working to identify the issue.
At July 10th, 2023 at 22:21 CDT, INAP released an update stating the following:
A small electrical failure occurred with one of the redundant UPS devices which began smoking and led to a small fire in the UPS room. The fire department was dispatched and the fire extinguished quickly. The fire department subsequently cut power to the datacenter and disabled the generators while they and the utility company inspected the electrical system.
The fire marshal is requiring extensive cleaning of the UPS devices and rooms before the site can be reenergized. There is a vendor onsite currently who will be performing the cleanup.
We do not currently have an ETA for when the datacenter will be back, and therefore are unable to provide an ETA for when we can restore our services.
We will be looking into alternative solutions in other datacenters until INAP's NYJ datacenter has been restored.
