[AWIPS #RDH-492687]: EDEX Outage

Hi there,

> Would you perhaps have a resource for a back-up edex server ?

The only other option I am aware of is a commercial offering from Allison House 
(https://www.allisonhouse.com/),
however I think I heard they may have discontinued their EDEX service recently? 
You'd have to reach out to them
to get more information.

Also, I received your other response, but our email service has been having 
issues, so I'll respond on this thread.

I'm sorry the outage unfortunately corresponded with extreme weather and 
impacted your workflow.  Unfortunately our 
AWIPS services are non-operational, including our production EDEX.  Our staff 
typically do not work weekends, although
we do at times try to respond if we're available.  This weekend our AWIPS team 
was not available and addressed the 
issue as soon as we could this morning.

Allison House was the only other (paid) option I was aware of. An additional 
option is to run your own EDEX locally
to use as your operational or backup server to ours.

Thanks.
