Switch issues in EWR datacenter

We are currently experiencing an issue with the switches in our new datacenter. Specifically, you will notice degradation in audio and problems with BLF. This is only impacting calls on our east coast customers.

We are experiencing some choppy audio, dropped calls and a few other symptoms for calls passing through our EWR datacenter (east coast). Customers in the central states or west coasts are not impacted.

The issue has been narrowed down a faulty switch card or cable (we're still identifying which).

In the meantime, we are in the process of mitigating the impact of the issue by shifting traffic to alternate servers so that we can replace the switch which is causing the issue.

BLF lights may be inaccurate while we work to resolve this.

We apologize for the trouble this is causing.

This is a 2600hz issue. We have nice new shiny GigE switches in the new DC. They're redundant and stacked.

All servers are racked with bonded cabling and we have multiple ISPs connecting into the core.

There's literally only one component that could cause disruptions to the redundancy, and that's the cable that makes the switches redundant (plugs one switch into the other). And, of course, that's what failed...

Murphy's law
