Update timeline

  1. investigating Jun 23, 2026, 07:43 PM UTC

    We are currently investigating a potential power issue within Global Switch 2.

  2. investigating Jun 23, 2026, 07:59 PM UTC

    Power appears to have returned, we're still waiting for information from the data centre and our teams are working on bringing online various internal systems hosted out of GS2, this includes our Client Portal. Support team is available on [email protected] in the interim.

  3. monitoring Jun 23, 2026, 09:03 PM UTC

    Power has remained stable, internal services including the Client Portal are back up and functioning. Client vDC resources are now being verified.

  4. monitoring Jun 23, 2026, 09:31 PM UTC

    Power has remained stable and services have been restored. If any clients require assistance, please raise a ticket by logging into our portal. We're still waiting for any official communications from Global Switch; however, we believe this power outage affected both feeds across multiple floors.

    The DC has confirmed a brief power loss occurred at approximately 20:25 following a UK Power Networks (UKPN) power quality issue that triggered the site's protection systems. The site transferred to DRUPS at 20:35 as designed; during transfer, the DRUPS switched to bypass, causing an interruption. Power has since been restored to all racks. The site remains at risk. If you continue to experience issues, please log a case via the support portal with details of the affected device(s) and their location, and make use of any available workarounds or DR systems in the interim. We will provide a further update as soon as more information is available.
