Short circuit causes server failure

On the morning of 09.07.2015, there was a short circuit in the rack room of our data center in Frankfurt am Main.
This resulted in a slight smoke development, activating the room's fire protection system and rendering the room inaccessible for 4 hours.

A total of 8 large VPS hosts were damaged in the short circuit. Replacement hardware has already been ordered express delivery.
The damage is estimated at โ‚ฌ20,000. No data was lost, but the downtime was approximately 72 hours.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Warm regards,
