Major technical disturbances resulted &#8211; even though power has resumed, many systems are still unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>When the University Post attempted to reach the IT department for a comment, the morning after the power outage, we were met with a general switchboard, and informed that the entire administration department&#8217;s phone system at N\u00f8rregade 10 is still inactive.<\/p>\n<p>Online, the Koncern-IT department states that &#8220;many systems have been severely damaged, and will remain unstable throughout the rest of the day.&#8221; <\/p>\n<h2>Moderate temperatures, massive breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>&#8221;The problems started Sunday and Monday, because of the heat outside. It got too hot, so the university tried to cool the server room with cooling machines,&#8221; says Ulrik Grimstrup, Communications Manager at the IT department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We made a mistake,&#8221; admits Grimstrup, \u201cwhen the temperature gets above a certain point, the electricity is set to turn off in the room. It&#8217;s was an error in the computer setup and design, and will not happen again.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The weather in Copenhagen has been uncharacteristically warm this past week, with daily temperatures recorded at 24\u00b0C on Sunday and Monday, and climbing to 29\u00b0C on Tuesday, breaking the previous record high of 27\u00b0C in 2009, according to wunderground.com. While this type of summer heat may not be uncharacteristic for other climates, Denmark rarely experiences such high summer temperatures.<\/p>\n<h2>The aftermath<\/h2>\n<p>The issue was exacerbated by the unexpected connection to the other IT servers. The university houses its servers at two separate locations, to ensure that a malfunction in one area will not affect the entire network. &#8220;The two server areas should work independently,&#8221; states Grimstrup, \u201ctheoretically, this shouldn\u2019t be able to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of 1.30am on 7 August, power was reinstated at the Panum institute. A task force has been put into place to investigate and report on the breakdown.
