Guys, we're back, and what a ride tonight has been. The box that PRE is hosted on has quite a few domains sharing the system. It was racked up with a co-locate outfit 'E' in a datacenter owned by 'V'. Well, it would appear that 'E' had outstanding bills to 'V' and that 'V' had caught on that 'E' was reselling without permission.
We were unaware of the situation until early this week when 'V' denied access to 'E''s customers, which included us. We'd entered into discussions with 'V''s lawyers explaining the our equipment is not 'E''s equipment and that we have every right to remove our stuff. This is where things slow down a bit.
So we get a phone call this evening saying a window of opportunity had appeared and to go to the datacenter to get our stuff. There were a few other dudes that had received the same call as we had to queue to get in. Anyway, we get our equipment and drive to another datacenter where 'I' were prepared for us and our equipment and networking requirements.
And here we are, back up and running, with our equipment having traveled from one Melbourne CBD datacenter to another. It's been a big night and I'm currently settled down with a nice glass of single malt scotch.
Enjoy the service
