Power Failure

May 21st, 2007 · No Comments

Everything is now back online following the power failure. The Email Server, Mailsweeper and the VoIP Phone System gave me the worst frights. Out of these I thought the phone system was dead for a time but it finally came back online after much seeking out of serial data cables to access the CLI.

We already have a slew of UPS and PDU equipment but I’ve managed to get authorisation to add to the defensive arsenal thus giving us at least a little more breathing space should the unexpected happen again.

Yet again, this re-inforces the needs for good back-ups. Fortunately I had them in hand so felt confident that, all but the hardware on the VOIP system, that we could get back working quickly.
