Aug 28, 2008 8:45 AM - 10:00 AM

We lost campus power sometime after 8:30AM and by 10:00 the generator was up and running (and we had brought all systems back on-line shortly thereafter).  We also shut down non-essential services at 1:00PM (leaving email and web access available) in preparation for switching back over to power from outside (so that the generator could be turned off).

Aug 11, 2008 3:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Hardware failure in a critical server meant that our LDAP system became unavailble, breaking many services on campus (the most critical being email).  A new server was quickly reprovisioned and backups were used to instantiate a new LDAP server.  

May 9, 2008 10:18-10:27 AM

Our Cisco router hiccuped and took down our off-campus link for a few minutes.

May 4, 2008 around 8:00 p.m.

After working with Cisco tech support to fix an issue with our router, the campus is back online. The length of this outage means that over the 24 hours following, email may still come trickling in.

May 4, 2008 -- around 4:00 p.m .our upstream link was restored for good.

We are notified that everything is good with our upstream link and begin troubleshooting our end.

May 3, 2008 -- sometime before 11:45 a.m.  the upstream connection to the internet went down.

The situation was a major one impacting a major optical fiber link from Pittsfield to Springfield. This was a network outage "upstream" that affected many various other bandwidth consumers (not just Simon's Rock). During the outage, resources on campus remained operational (on campus email still worked for example but not email coming onto or leaving campus).

February 13th, 2008 8:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.

We lose AC power for several hours, taking down our network connection.

February 6th, 2008 -- 12:36 p.m.

Back online.

February 6th, 2008 -- 11:34 a.m.

Same Boston-Springfield link goes down again upstream.

February 5th, 2008 -- 7:04 p.m.

Link is restored and we again have upstream connectivity.

February 5th, 2008 -- 6:01 p.m.

An upstream fiber link between Springfield and Boston goes down.
