(June 3, 2008) - SYS-CON Media website (www.sys-con.com) and email servers were affected from Saturday's explosion at The Planet hosting facility together with 9,000 servers which belonged to more than 7,500 customers. SYS-CON has been hosting its image server and email servers at the facility. At the time of this report on Monday, June 2, 2008, 3:30 p.m. and after more than 48 hours, www.sys-con.com site has been rendering blank pages or pages with no images.

EV1servers attempted to restore the data on Monday afternoon, after three days of outage which affected the SYS-CON Media website, but Tuesday morning www.sys-con.com was still not serving images.

 TheWhir.com reports: Earlier this morning, the company successfully brought back 90 percent of the second floor servers after more than 40 hours of troubleshooting. Meanwhile, support technicians are currently working on location to manually restore the remaining 10 percent on the second floor, as well as restore power to the first floor.

Despite this, many customers, namely those companies who have lost sales, customers, and other revenues, remain upset by how long the recovery process is taking and have actively voiced these criticisms on forums."

Online registrration system for SYS-CON's upcoming June 22-23, 2008, Virtualization Conference & Expo colocated with 13th International SOA World Confrence & Expo has been down since Saturday.
