                        I think that they know who broke it 🙂 Century Link / Level 3 has nowhere to hide.

                          @RojoLoco How else will you drive the stock price down for an acquisition? Gosh guys, get with the times.

                              Nearly two hours down. We have internal confirmation from several sources that they are fully offline. It's bad. But it's a CL/L3 issue.

                                If only they had moved to a nationally disparate tier IV colocation facility this might have been avoided.

                                    Is that only for the local installs?

                                      @scottalanmiller Yeah, reading more into the context, I believe so.

                                      But bottom line, don't log out if you're logged into your local helpdesk or you may not get back in again until after this blows over.

                                        That would be expected as that's where the authentication is. No surprises there. But good for people who might not know.

                                          It seems to be that having failovers is best practices in most instances. I would think/hope that SW would have thought far enough ahead to have a failover location in a location that is geographically separate from their main systems. Maybe a place like...lets say...London? Hmmm....Now who do we know in London? Oh, wait. SW is in London as well. Well how about that? Now the question is, why didn't they utilize their London office as a failover site?

                                            @NerdyDad Yeah, going to be a lot of questions like that I think. I feel for them - after suffering two such outages that shut us down last week for two days, I know a little of what they're feeling like right now...
