On May 16th &17th, 2022 Cornerstone engineers were alerted by internal monitoring tools for portal latency & availability issues. Clients across the UK swimlane experienced slowness and portal availability issues intermittently.
Cornerstone engineers were engaged for investigation and troubleshooting and issues pointed to the storage issues. Further review revealed that the issue was due to storage not performing optimally due to I/o issues. This was resolved after adding more resources to storage.
To mitigate this situation from occurring in the future and to reduce the risk of a future impact Cornerstone is actively working internally to review the incident with the vendor. Internal teams are working with our third-party vendors to establish the issue and conducting a thorough investigation and creating remediation plans and capacity planning to avoid the recurrence of this incident.
