*******************
At approx. 1:18AM CST 10/26/2011 Colo4 experienced a localized issue on one of our UPS units during a maintenance window for our 3004 Irving Blvd facility causing a brief loss of power for three PDU units (power distribution units) PDU’s 31, 34, and 36 causing customers without A/B power on these particular PDU’s that are not maintaining A/B power configuration to lose power. Those maintaining A/B power were not affected. Colo4 immediately identified and began mitigating the problem; with onsite electricians we restored the power to the affected PDUs immediately to get customers that were affected back online.
