Unscheduled outage - 27 Februrary

The system was unavailable from 11.45 to approximately 7pm on the 27th of February.

This is the longest outage we’ve had since we started running Squadlist. It was particularly inconvenient as it fall on a weekend, when access to the data is most important.

The outage was caused by a faulty component in the machine which hosts the system.
This machine is managed by a dedicated hosting company. We choose to use a locally based, independent company for our hosting needs. An independent may not have access to the same resources as a larger supplier but in my opinion, they did an excellent job of recovering for this failure as quickly as possible and we’ll be sticking with them.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result of this outage.

Regards, Tony McCrae.
Squadlist developer
