UPDATE 22:30: Blackboard, Exchange, Sharepoint 2007 and a number of services now up. Some emails are trickling through. SUSSED is still down.

This morning a fatal power cut crashed practically all systems at the University, including Blackboard, SUSSED and emails. 

iSolutions put out this statement on Facebook:

 iSolutions are aware and on site attempting to recover from a UPS (power) failure this morning. All services from B54 are broken. Email, Webcat ect are all down as well.

There is no word on when the systems will be back up, and the service status is not being updated to keep students informed, although you can follow updates on how long until Blackboard is restored here. They are also, updating their Twitter feed:

The failure happened this morning. We’ll keep you updated on when they are expected to return.
