A network issue has caused about 45 minutes of downtime at the Chicago datacenter, this outage affected the following servers:

Apollo
Node3
Node5
Node6
Zeus

As well as our primary server hosting GeekStorage.com, causing an outage in support channels, as well. Services are restored at this time to all servers, and we are continuing to investigate the cause of the issue. There was a problem with the switch hosting all of these servers that has caused the outage, we are still investigating why & how this issue occurred so suddenly without warning, and we have plans to replace the switch during our planned migration in several days (check the post previous to this one for more details on the migration).
