2 fire issues with the same DC vendor in 2 months is a pretty shit track record though.

I missed the story about the first fire then... In that case, yep. But could also be bad luck.
Evocative had a fire in LAX that knocked out a row or two of cabs.

Without a doubt I agree with you @MikePT but in the case in question I no longer have enough confidence to believe that there is no technical problem. So far they have not explained what actually happened.
Daaamn.
I totally get it.

Hopefully for the sake of others this timeline is right.
I hope Kamatera is not on UPS1. Or if you are authorizing a reconnection as specified.
Don't forget the famous room needed 36 hours of cleaning, additional man power, and fire marshal was pissed over it asking for more cleaning.
Our gear is back online.
Some nodes are having file system issues. Investigating.
My VPS at nfoservers came back online around 7pm EDT. Looks like Evocative is getting things turned back on now.
My VPS's with DediPath and EthernetServers got back online.
Edit: VPS from VirMach also online.
We've repaired XFS damage on our cPanel platform, which is now back online.
FSCK's are running on Piano and Fife.
It's interesting to see the amount of hosts all using the same datacenter. I wonder if there will be expansion to other datacenters in same area. I've noticed that Coresite and Equinix both have datacenters right next to INAP/Evocative one.

KAMATER IS ON
VirMach is back online!
Yes, it is interesting. Equinix has four datacenters in the area, Evoque operates one across the street from Evocative, and there are a few more smaller ones to the west, all in the same general industrial area. I wonder which providers would have been affected if any of those others went down...
According to Hetrix Tools, the downtime was 2 days, 2 hours, 49 minutes.
Average timespan of their technicians after this just went down by 13 years
anyone recommends a redundancy service?
Wonder which one is the cheap one?
Reason we didn't go there.
Ethernetservers online, Hawkhost still down.
It's almost as if people who use Psychz (you should really see their DC to believe it, it beats out any Equinix facility /s) or the people who should be getting "who has had the most power outages in the last 5 years" award are now sharing expert opinions on this unfortunate event.
I rent space from dedipath and I am still offline
2 days 7 hours, 58 minutes, and counting. I get you can't plan for the situation buts its disheartening that power is restored and I'm still down. I have a mikrotik router that should immediately wake up once power is restored, so I am guessing its the power going into my rack or something along that. I'm hoping their staff finds something tomorrow morning, as i'm states away.
Thank you all for the updates btw. This thread has been a fantastic resource to follow.
I've got 2 days 4 hours so we are all around the same downtime
This is just bad luck but I think ethernet servers and dedicated.com (I think there are other providers in this thread too) did the best they could under the circumstances to keep their customers informed .... hey even OVH had a fire a few years ago and I think it did substantial damage from what I can remember
Hawk host is back online. As their status said, first the DC had to be powered on, then co-located servers could be powered on and then Hawkhost had to spin up their whole cloud environment.
