Hi Lee,

 

From 20.51 to 21.40 we had a network outage resulting in packet loss and slow loading affecting our servers in Equinix LD5 caused by a failed switch - we'll be releasing a fuller RFO on this in the next 24 hours. Apologies again for the inconvenience.

 

 

Kind regards,

Care to enlighten me quite what the switch is your refering to and what normally makes them fail....just wondered as many times these topics are spoken about and what does it actually mean? is it a routing switch ?

 

Cheers

A routing switch is what all the various cables from each server attaches to in order to direct traffic to the appropriate place.

 

And like all things electronic things just break, either over heating, old age or simple user error when using it.
