When cross referencing our asset lists, having the ability to quickly search our systems by Serial Number would be a major quality of life upgrade. As it stands, there is nothing in the search feature which allows us to look for a value that does not change as the device moves around from user to user. If someone obtains a device from an old user and the name is not updated or maybe we have an older field device with an obscure name schema from an ex-admin. If I don't know to search for that or the search feature doesn't think what I'm searching is close enough to the name, then I have to pull up the group that it *may* be in and search down each Asset Info tab trying to match that exact serial number manually. With a serial number, it's unique to that specific device and having the ability to cross reference purchase orders, receipts, asset lists, etc. to find lost or misnamed devices would be a HUGE help.

Yes Josh, apologies again. The root cause of the issue is impacted disk I/O where the SAN has experienced multiple disk failures at the same time greatly reducing I/O capacity. We'll announce tomorrow a maintenance window for the window where we will transition to a SSD-backed SAN which will greatly increase the performance of our cluster.
Update: 5:14PM - We're down again. We've decided to switch to the new storage now.
Update: 5:50PM - We're 20% done with the move to the new storage, we anticipate another 2 hours before we can restore service.
Update: 6:24PM - 69% done with the move.
Update: 6:58PM - Move completed successfully, databases are starting up.

Earlier today we experienced storage issues with our hosting provider in the US hosting center which caused our database server to continuously crash. Service was resumed by 7:30am ET. Unfortunately some users appear to be experiencing similar issues at the moment. We apologize for any inconvenience and are actively working on a resolution to restore service to everyone as soon as possible.
