Emergency Maintenance: May 10th, 2016

We are about to begin an emergency maintenance period that will affect a large group of customers.

During this time, we expect affected sites to continue to stay up and available, but customers will be unable to upload or modify files.

This maintenance will begin immediately and we expect it to last around 30 minutes.

If you have questions or concerns, please submit a ticket to our help desk via your https://my.pressable.com control panel.

UPDATE 3:00PM Central: The maintenance period is lasting longer than initially anticipated. Affected sites remain in a “read only” state where files are not able to be uploaded or modified. We will update again as soon as more information is available.

UPDATE 3:30PM Central: Maintenance has now been completed and read/write functionality is available again to all sites. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns and thank you for your patience during this maintenance.

SFTP Unavailability

UPDATE (4:36PM CDT): We’ve corrected this issue, and SFTP access is fully functional across all sites once again. If you are still having trouble, please submit a ticket to our helpdesk in http://my.pressable.com/

We are currently experiencing an issue that is causing SFTP to be unavailable for many customers. We are working diligently toward getting this resolved as soon as possible and will provide updates as they become available.

Emergency Maintenance: IAD Datacenter

Update (1:26PM CDT) All sites on IAD are up, and the SFTP/Upload issues are now resolved. Please contact the helpdesk if you have any outstanding issues, questions, or concerns.

We have just begun a period of Emergency Maintenance in our Virginia Datacenter. We discovered an issue this morning that was causing trouble with files being uploaded properly to sites. This turns out to be related to an issue on the file server that houses data on the clusters in our Virginia Datacenter.

This emergency maintenance is currently underway and sites in the Virginia DC will experience a small window of downtime that is starting right now.

We will update this status blog again as soon as sites and the file server are back up.

UPDATE 3:00 PM Central: The period of emergency maintenance concluded at around 1:45PM Central time. At this point all sites affected had availability restored and service returned to normal. As of this update, all systems are now back up and functioning normally again.
