"We would like to inform you of an exceptional situation affecting Cogent communications Data Centre in Rennes (AV CHARDONNET - LORANS 30F)

"Due to unprecedented and historically high temperatures in the region, it has become impossible to maintain the environmental conditions required for the safe operation of equipment hosted at the facility. Despite a thorough on-site inspection carried out by a technician, no viable solution has been identified that would allow us to restore adequate cooling capacity under the current circumstances."
