Yesterday's Peninsula wide blackout fortunately had no effect on our HPC and Grid systems. Both data center generators kept their UPS's running until power was restored after about an hour.
As can be seen from the monitoring dashboard all devices at UCT and its peripheral campuses not connected to some form of UPS were down.
