CloudatCost and Fibernetics April to May Outage
-
There's no reason for anything to be affected if they have another link up. Do these guys even have an IT background. Maybe there's a reason they are using VMware instead of xen too.
-
And they are using R810 quad socket systems which makes Windows that much harder and are very inefficient for cloud workloads. Everything I found out is just one horrible decision layered on another as if they don't have any IT people there and are just buying whatever they heard about somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they were considering running the whole shebang on a VRTX.
-
I can get to my server via the console and see that it is up. Just can't use it.
-
I don't know if I'd giggle or cry if the outage was caused by a negative balance in their bank account.
-
Can't say I'm adding anything here.. I can access the panel - but not via the console or with putty.
I am disappointed,.. but it's not the end of the world for me. I haven't really done anything with my two sessions,.. It is what it is. It shows a failure point for any Cloud based service.
-
No one else seems to be having issues with rodgers at this point. Seems Odd.
@scottalanmiller They might not even be using the enterprise version of ESXi, they could be using some free ESXi license without vMotion given the lack of funding.
Also we have no real proof aside from their own claim to be owned by Fibernetics. There Articles of Organization does not list them, it list some guy (who has a really nice house in Canada btw). It's a Venture capital company that owns a few other risky ventures. Fibernetics has from some reports of some people denied that they own Cloud at Cost and suggested they are more of a partner & provider ( but, not a business partner)
Also I wonder if it's true about only $51,000 net worth http://kikstats.com/site/cloudatcost.com

Here's one of there other ventures: http://www.fongo.com/
It looks like they will partner with most any employee's ideas on companies: http://www.fibernetics.ca/about-us/fibernetics-ventures/

I have a suspicion that maybe they are not coming back this time.
Are there any repercussions if they do this?

ChargeBacks should be easier? Not much else you can do unless you want to take them to court (not worth it). and with no US presence that can be much harder.

I am glad that I never spent a penny. I won a free server in the ML contest. I never trusted the business model of one time purchase for something that needs continual maintenance.

I've gotten an email from them. They will be online in a few minutes.
-
Online here I mean, no word on being online for the datacenter.

Does it even matter at this point?

Lies...There's no way anyone is believing that.

They Seriously need to be using Zabbix or something for monitoring their links...

But then they couldn't always blame outages on someone else.

Hey everybody,
In the past 24 hours we have experienced multiple fiber splices which have caused a lot of downtime at our data center.
As many of you have mentioned, we are not completely offline and there are servers still online during this outage.
The most recent update I received from Rogers outlines that techs have been dispatched and that the issue has been escalated to management at Rogers.
The crew is currently trying to resolve the issue but Rogers has not provided an ETR.
I will do my best to keep everybody posted on a regular basis.
