NYC is down at the moment, no reason as to why yet.
https://status.path.net/incidents/2q7bsf0m5fwx
end of the month + 5 days, unpaid bill??? 🤔
They straight up deadpooled in Phoenix it seems like. Probably weren’t able to get their equipment out without paying the datacenter’s “ransom” (their unpaid bills with interest and fees). They can’t be seriously “investigating” the Phoenix situation for 3 straight months…
Very likely that PhoenixNAP have held the hardware. Would be nice to hear something officially though.
Dream on, B2B schenanigans usually kept secret in bigger corps.
Yep, at the moment Phoenix is still marked as "TBD".
Path/Tempest New York has been down for over 11 hours. Tempest employees attributes the issue to a "fiber problem," and there’s no backup in place.
Or is something else going on considering their history?
I'd trust a wet fart over anything from their employees, considering their Phoenix situation. And I say this as someone who has a [discounted] Tempest server in NYC (yes I took backups and evacuated it, but still sucks that it's inaccessible).
probably a problem with their bank and the lack of money in it. i guess their port being nullrouted sort of counts as a fiber problem?
I'm sure they have money, they are still sending bills to their customers (i.e. clients using their servers) and demanding them to pay after all. Whether that money is earmarked for the right priorities is another question entirely...
Also took them a couple of days in I think Japan to get a fiber fixed, I assume they couldn't get a package delivered because of unpaved bills, same old same old, liar liar pants on fire.
For the record, japan is still down for over 3 months. “Failed optic”, package not accepted by datacenter and now: “waiting on transit port” 😂
You decide based on their “answers” below.
Sounds like another Phoenix Deadpool to me. GG.
Always take backups people!
Refugee offers anyone? 😭
do the higher ups or "management" still talk in that channel?
Yeah, apparently Path PHX is coming back and Tokyo/Singapore
The management can say that London only is the best solution, and the suckers there would believe it.
Funnily enough, their product is still the best.
As much as I dislike them, I have to admit they are best in anti-ddos industry in terms of product and skillset. I only know Chase/cpmk/cpke and Zigi are working on that area, but there might be others too.
That's a lot of words just to say "we have no idea what is going on but we're going to pretend that we have a plan."
Other than their cult followers, are people going to really believe that they suddenly pulled a rabbit out of their asses for Phoenix/Singapore/Japan after 3 months of "We're continuing to investigate this issue"?
I think this is all PR talk just to quiet down their discord and that nothing will actually change.
This textwall above lacks any kind of specifics other than "we're just going to do some things and everything will be online soon."
People will swallow anything if price and quality is on par. Even bunch of blabber like “fjridodod” will go.
So what basically happens here (if it's true) is that Path racked some new hardware in a different data center in Phoenix, but the old Path and Tempest hardware is still being held hostage in PhoenixNAP. Remember, this is the same Kyan who said that Phoenix would be back up within 24 hours — three months ago.
Singapore and Tokyo back up "extremely soon." About time, after 3+ months? I dont buy it. In the meanwhile New York is still down. We enter day 4. How can you be 4 days down due to a Fiber issue? makes no sense at all.
They are very obviously lying. They are just attempting to move to another datacenter.
It might be the best in terms of performance/price, but you have other options now that might not be as cheap or have as many locations. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to stay with Path out of necessity.
If budget is the problem, there are cheaper providers. If you need a specific location, you need to either suck it up and move somewhere close by or go with someone more expensive like gcore. Protection-wise they are all about the same now.
Is this what mitigation on a deadpooling budget looks like?
The missing caddies are speed holes.

Just makes things easier when/if we need to swap drives, separated by a gap, and if another engineer has to go in, he doesn't waste time pulling out the wrong one or an empty one. Like many others here, we have giant stockpiles of caddies in the office. I'm also the one that racked it and in my opinion it looks better that way rather than empty caddies
I’m just trying to cut tension with a Simpson joke boss, I guess I should’ve included the YouTube for it
Francisco
I think he's too young to get that reference.
Would you mind shedding some light on what we're looking at (obviously switches and some servers 😂)? Would be curious to learn more
Pretty standard setup for mitigation, we've decided to transition to node-based systems as we've found them much easier to upgrade and technicians seem to work better with being able to pull out individual nodes instead of deracking/reracking entire servers. We've used node systems in Europe and the US with no issues so far
Is that a 4 node or a 2 node system? If it's a 2 node system that's a little scary since you can't really have a 2 node cluster, and if it's a 4 node system that's a little scary because you're only running 1 disk per node.
edit: nvm, eyes stopped working and didn't see it was a 12 bay chassis, not an 8 bay.
I believe it's a 4 node cluster with 3 nodes actively turned on presently. There is a second server right above it.
If I guess correctly, we're looking at 3 x H8DGT-HLF servers so they have one Gen 2 PCI-E x16 slot each, so ~300 Gbps in filtering capacity?
