On 7 December 2024 from 15:22 UTC to 21:30 UTC, Wasabi experienced a loss of power event in our US-EAST-1 and US-EAST-2 data centers. At 15:22, our Operations Team noticed that infrastructure within the US-EAST-1 and US-EAST-2 regions failed to respond to standard smoke tests and monitoring tools, and reviewing the activity for the regions indicated a full loss of power to all server racks and infrastructure within the building.
At 16:00 UTC, Wasabi received confirmation from Iron Mountain that power loss for the entire building has occurred. By 16:15 UTC, Iron Mountain Operations begins to restore power to an incremental number of racks for Wasabi’s infrastructure, allowing our Operations Team to run systematic health checks across all server nodes, and by 21:30 UTC we have confirmation that all systems are running optimally and both US-EAST-1 and US-EAST-2 regions were fully operational.
