July 1, 2013 :: Sandstorm / Thundersnow network disruption

[Jason]

There was a network disruption lasting around 30-40 minutes impacting two of our servers. 

- Sandstorm
- Thundersnow (which also hosts Charlottezweb's main sites)

From what I've gathered from the datacenter, it looks like an attack was impacting a part of their network so they've been working to mitigate that.

Out of the 8 servers we have in that datacenter, only 2 were impacted.

I will update this thread later if I get further details from them. 

Thank you,
Jason

Per the previous update, the datacenter confirmed that it was an attack impacting a portion of the network that these two servers utilize.  They detected the spike in traffic before I was alerted to the outage and were already isolating it when I reached out to them.   

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

I would like to thank Jason for his prompt action to solve the problem. Great Service as always.
