Hmm, 'primary' implies there exists a secondary, but it doesn't seem to be working if so.

@gotwww The backup data center was impacted too. Don't have info as to why. The team is solely focused on getting us back up for now.

They claim processing is back up, but not everyone is agreeing with that. If any store owner wants to check it out and let us know, I'd be grateful.

#authorizenet I understand transaction processing is back up with the exception of Global processing. We are working to bring that up ASAP.

Its probably going to take some time before they are back up and running so it looks like time to switch Miva store to credit card payment with simple validation until next week.

Yup,

Fire disrupts stations at Seattle's Fisher Plaza

presume that this is their data center since Fisher plaza is the second largest data center in Seattle...

Re: Authorize.Net is down for the count.

We, www.SIPhawaii.com noticed slow downloading of webpages which have the Authorize.Net Merchang verification seal. The seal did not show when Authorize.Net was down and that caused a delay in showing the webpages. Now the ANET seal is showing again, but clicking on it to verify is still very slow or does not work yet. Still not sure if the ANET credit card verification for both US and Global transactions is properly functioning. Lucky we have Google and Paypal Checkout as well! Now let's wait and see if the USPS online ship and click label system will not crash again for days during the Xmas holidiays due to overloading.... Or our hosting company does not start a half a day maintenance session the day before Black Friday.... Never a dull moment being a webmaster.... The weather here is great though....so is our coffee...
