Vermont state websites experience widespread outage
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – Many state of Vermont websites are experiencing an outage following a cut in a fiber line early Wednesday, state officials say.
Officials with the Agency of Digital Services say all “Vermont.gov” sites went offline at 1 a.m. Technologies. ADS Secretary Shawn Nailor says there was a cut on an AT&T fiber line going into state IT vendor Tyler Technology’s data center in Northern Virginia. He says state officials weren’t notified until 8 a.m.
The outage impacts access to all administration websites including DCF, Labor, and DMV. The Legislature and Judiciary’s sites are not impacted.
The outage follows a similar one on April 20th. Nailor says the state of Vermont developed a backup to keep state websites operating during outages, but Tyler Technologies’ backup failed this time.
There is no estimated time when services will be back online.
