On Friday around 11:00AM the Middlesex South computer server in Cambridge went down for the remainder of the day. In turn this shut down our South Satellite office also. Fortunately, Friday was the day after the holiday and business was rather light at the registry. This kept the inconvenience caused by the outage to a minimum. Had this been the end of the month it would have been a disaster. Of course, minimizing inconvenience does not excuse the problem. In fact, information will be collected so corrective measures can be taken to either prevent a
reoccurrence or provide a better backup if there is one. Most “would be recorders” who came to the Satellite Office in Lowell during the outage left their documents in our “drop off basket”. Early Monday morning our staff recorded all documents left on Friday.
