Datacenter Easynet is partially flat due to a power failure

The datacenter of Easynet at Schiphol amsterdam airport is only partially flat due to a power failure. It is still not clear why the interference is caused, but many businesses and websites have suffered from, including the hosting provider Argeweb.

At the time of writing, many at Easynet hosted websites and services are still not accessible. So the hosting provider Argeweb its website replaced by an error document. Normally hear datacenters with power problems to fall back on ups systems and emergency generators. “Emergency power supply * * * * * apparently not,” writes the director of Argeweb on Twitter. “Incomprehensible. Really incomprehensible.” Also the pay for parking via Parkmobile is not possible at this time, probably because of the same fault.

It is not clear why the interference is caused, and how big the impact is. A customer of Easynet writes on Twitter that a portion of the data center there is. It is possible that only a part of the network there is completely uitligt, and that the servers themselves are simply slipping through the net. Spokespersons from the company were not reachable for comment.
