A 3000 kVA transformer that serves the RackShack data center exploded and caught fire Monday night (thankfully, no one was hurt). The genrators kicked in, and apparently have continued to hold up until utility power can be restored (by Friday). More details and discussion in RackShack Talk.
Just got an email about this (my server is hosted on RackShack), but I have to say that I’m impressed by how they’ve been handling things. Over the past year and a half with RS, I’ve noticed no RS-responsible network or system downtime.
