At 10PM Pacific time on Monday February 11th (06:00 UTC February 12th), we lost complete connectivity to our datacenter in San Antonio, Texas. This loss of connectivity briefly caused degradated performance in the other WordPress.com data centers. Thanks to our multiple data center setup, we were able to minimize any issues and San Antonio was removed from production while network engineers troubleshot the loss in connectivity. WordPress.com performance has returned to normal for the most part, and this loss in connectivity should have affected a very small number of visitors.
As always, you’ll find the latest and most-up-to-date status information at http://status.automattic.com/ – we’ve also included a widget in the VIP Lobby homepage sidebar for the latest system update.
