Update Monday, March 17, 2025 at 9:30am
TSO is actively bringing the Klaus data center back online following the switch gear maintenance for the building this weekend.
There was an unplanned issue causing the data center to come back online Saturday evening. Fortunately, the spot coolers were keeping the data center cool. The data center began overheating on Sunday when the maintenance resumed Sunday morning causing the spot coolers to go offline. TSO staff was able to come onsite late Sunday afternoon to turn the UPS back off as the building's electrical maintenance was not complete. This has potentially caused issues with servers and TSO staff is actively troubleshooting.
Some services there were not originally slated to be impacted, but were are listed below:
