After more than 3 days of downtime, ETA for restoration of services is unknown. Digital Realty (#DLR) has not been transparent in the cause and remediation of the incident. Evocative team has been granted access to the colocation site in the last few hours, but apart from this, mouths are wide shut. No press or Google articles yet, except a thread of affected clients complaining on Reddit.
