Like the internet, it's always available. Resilient. Disaster-proof. No power cuts. Ever.
Except for the past two days, when some suppliers accredited to the UK government CloudStore found they couldn't log on, see below.
CloudStore is hosted by Memset. And since 1 June 2013, it's been the responsibility of the Government Digital Service, who promise that cloud computing is the key to the future of public services delivered efficiently by innovative SMEs. If they can log on, at least.
Does anyone know how this impossible-to-happen service interruption happened?

@saulcozens looks like it's up and running now. Are you able to login?
— G-Cloud (@G_Cloud_UK) September 11, 2013
@G_Cloud_UK yup thanks. You could probably do with a more informative 503 error page though.
