Faits divers. Strasbourg: important incendie chez OVHcloud, de nombreux sites internet indisponibles partout dans le monde

Un important incendie s'est déclaré dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi sur le site d'OVHcloud à Strasbourg. L'entreprise étant spécialisée dans l'hébergement de données informatiques, de nombreux sites internet sont indisponibles ce mercredi.

[rodscha]

yes i think you re very right... I got the same idea watching French news a while ago!
This reminds us the "cloud" is not in the sky

 

[4wd]

Presumably not good to rejoice seeing other's devastations, but in this case I'll make an exeption. Good riddance. OVH hosted spammers, scrapers etc counts for many millions of visits over time on my forum\website.
But sadly, they got many more facilities.
:O)

Google Translate

Edit, pic2, relocating all customers data to the cloud :O)

 

[rodscha]

OVH may be too lax in filtering who they "take in" as customers ; however,
"satexpat" was to me a very useful website,as is SatsUK,
because of the many people interacting,especially in the non-English speaking world.
So,who are the "clean" hosting companies?

One data centre gutted & one badly damaged

Russia blames Google outage on data centre fire

The fire in the French city of Strasbourg destroyed one data centre and damaged another.

Since yesterday, also the italian satelliteforum digital-forum.it/ cannot be reached (by my computer, at least).
Would they host in Strasbourg, also?

Now,when I try to connect to Satexpat via my favorite ,I get this

"Forbidden​

Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Server at www.satexpat.com Port 80"

Any idea to what it means?

@a33

The URL is pointing to a new server which isn't yet setup for public access?

 

[rodscha]

so,they are patching up something new maybe?

Assuming they have offsite backups, they'll be shifting everything over to a different data centre presumably.

 

[rodscha]

ok ,so,wait & see

Ah yes!
And indeed it says: down due to OVH Stasbourg:

Incendio OVH a Strasburgo, digital-forum.it al momento non disponibile.



Edit (added):
But they say the server is at another part, not where the fire was. Just electricity is cut off ATM.
Translation in english:
the forum is a totally dedicated OVH server in Strasbourg, located in SBG4 which should not have been impacted by the fire. The servers are only turned off, because the electricity to the whole structure has been cut off, they will be turned on again as soon as possible. So ... it should ... be okay

 

[4wd]

^^^ yes, those 2 sites on OVH. If OVH got decent backup routines they should be able to restore everything on some of their other datacenters, quite quickly.

 

[Analoguesat]

It could be weeks before the electricity is turned back on in any adjacent data centres. Any areas with cable damage will need to be isolated and repaired. If the main supply came in anywhere near the gutted building it will be off for a long time.

 

[rodscha]

the front page of the Satexpat website has re-appeared but the links do not work.

 

[stephan94]

it works again now.
