ServerBeach is experiencing a power outage at their Virginia datacenter. It not only affected customer servers, but also their My Serverbeach portal, and thus the ability to create tickets. I am going on 7 hours of downtime on my primary server. Even though ServerBeach was started by Rackspace, I sometimes wonder during outages such as this if they ever had anything in common.
ServerBeach Outage

From an outage e-mail “…the generator became unstable due to the encountered temperatures and began to lose power. We decided – in the best interest – to perform an emergency shutdown of the entire Data Center power grid and to resolve all power related problems.”
