Please be advised of the following Service Alert on the IP Voice Services platform: Date: 13:02 to 13:09 on Thursday, 26/04/2012. Description The IPVS Engineering team have identified an issue on the Call Recorder causing the web GUI to become unresponsive. It is understood that stuck user sessions in the web GUI were accumulating and causing unexpectedly high memory usage, in consultation with the vendor the decision was taken to restart the Web Server element of the system at 13:00. Impact This caused the web GUI for the Call Recorder to be offline from 13:02-13:09, during this period calls would have been recorded as usual. Only clients who use the network call recording will have been affected. The IPVS Engineering team are continuing to monitor the memory usage of the Web Server, if any further actions are required we will update you accordingly. Regards, Comtec Network Operation Centre For urgent operational issues please always contact noc at comtec.com or 0845 899 1423 and not any named individual.

I can confirm that all circuits were restored at 10:15 this morning and that service has been stable since that time. The total outage duration was 23 hours, 7 minutes. Our management team are now in discussions with BT management regarding the scale and duration of this disaster, and what can be done on both sides to mitigate the risk of a future occurrence. We are also told that a project team has already been assembled within BT Openreach to analyse this outage with a goal of improving routing diversity. We will provide a final update with the outcome of these discussions in the next few days. I can confirm that no customer with redundant connections into our network was affected. While, in this instance, BT missed their repair deadline due to the severity of the third-party damage, we do advise customers who rely on network connectivity for business operations to consider the cost/benefit of adding resilience to such connectivity. We have a range of products that fill this need, from guaranteed diversely-routed fibre, to copper EFM or ADSL backup with automatic failover. Please talk to your account manager if you wish to discuss these further.

Service was restored on our customer data circuits at 10:15. We do not have confirmation or an "all-clear" from BT, however, so we cannot rule out further risk until the whole work is complete. A further update will follow when we have more information from BT. Read more » | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
