Mysterious Power Outage Disrupts East Coast Internet for second week.

WPCNR INTERNETIONAL TRIBUNE. By John F. Bailey. Februay 2, 2003: For the second straight weekend, websites throughout the East Coast and across the country were affected by a crippling disruption at the Eastern DataCenter in Parsippany, New Jersey, (not Maryland, as previously reported), according to Scarsdale Technology's Sean Cover. The Westchester Network first noticed the slowdown in internet interfacing Saturday morning, and it lasted throughout the day, with the data center getting service restored to The Westchester Network at 9:30 PM Saturday evening.
According to Mr. Cover, troubleshooting the outage for The Westchester Network, the problem disrupted internet service for a large number of servers and websites:
He filed this report to WPCNR and The Yonkers Tribune:
"There have been some severe power and switching problems in the data center throughout the day (Saturday). Hundreds of servers are down, some of them for 13 hours straight. Many people are aware of the problem and are working on it frantically.I'm still trying to get the details from the data center, but the end result was that our sites were up and down all day. I know for a fact there was a power outage at the data center at 7am Saturday which forced them to go on their UPS backup, but they went back on utility power at 9am. However, it seems there were internal power switching and network problems that followed off and on all day long."
Filing his report to us Saturday evening, Cover is concerned about the second disruption of power without explanation in two weeks: "There's a big stink about it. Hundreds of servers providing service to many ISPs and web hosting companies were disrupted. Right now at 9:45pm, things seems back to normal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed."
