From Hurricane Electric: "A utility failure is affecting much of Fremont, CA, USA, damaging some electrical equipment. We are currently working to restore power."

Dont they have backup generators? I thought all datacentres did, although I have known them to fail too...

We used to be colocated at HE in Fremont. Real nice building. They have a track record of power outages going back several years.

Fremont keeps going out, this annoys me. I routinely have problems w/ Linode at this data center. :(

If you already had downtime at this datacenter, transfer your linode to another one. It will only take ~20 mins.

My linode is in Newark and it has been a long time since I had the last problem there. Also, Linode is based on Newark.

I've been on linode for quite a while and never had issues with Newark.

I didn't know you could transfer datacenters. I'd like to do that.

Linode's datacenter in London has "100% uptime" for me.

Just a few times I had to reboot the Linode because of some weird I/O locking.

I recommend London as well. It has been rock-solid for me.

I too recommend London, especially if you're in Europe ;).

Ditto. This is getting really annoying. Are there any other Linode DCs on this coast?

"Power appears to have been restored and we are working on bringing Linodes up now." http://status.linode.com/2011/05/outage-in-fremont-facility....

Interesting. Does the Fremont facility have inadequate backup generation/UPS?

"We skip the backup generators and pass the savings on to you!"

Again! :(
