An automatic vendor supplied security update in response to the recent glibc vulnerability has resulted in a number of servers experiencing difficulties this morning requiring reboots.
Engineers are currently working to reboot and restore affected servers which include web servers and virtualisation nodes.
During these reboots certain shared web servers will be offline for up to 30 minutes and some of our clustered nodes will be operating at reduced efficiency.
Our apologies for any inconvenience caused during this essential emergency maintenance
Affected servers include part of the Glide cluster (http://glide.email) as well as web services on web-21 and virtual servers hosted on vpsh6
