There has been an issue with one of our firewall clusters in our Christchurch Datacentre at approx 2:50am. Our network team have isolated the issue and resolved the problem. Services were restored shortly after identification. During this time, some network services would have been unavailable resulting in a number of web and email services being offline. Our network team is monitoring the problem and will be working with our hardware vendors to prevent the issue from reoccurring. At present, the firewall cluster is in a degraded state while we work through this process.
