We are working to replace the hardware that houses this database, and have an ETA of mid-tomorrow before this problem is fully resolved.While we're working hard to get the replacement system into place, we're being very cautious with this migration as we want to ensure there is no data loss. Because of this it looks like the migration to the new hardware, which will close out this issue, won't happen until late tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We've finalized the migration to our new hardware late yesterday. Sorry for the delay, but we were able to provide some additional stability to the current system, so took that time to perform some heavier data validation on the new system. Please contact support@plaxo.com if you continue to have any problems.

At 06:30 PST on March 16th we started experiencing issues with one of our user databases. We are working to replace the hardware that houses this database, and have an ETA of mid-tomorrow before this problem is fully resolved. This should be affecting ~3% of users, that will see periodic failures.
Please reference the following FAQ for more details on how this will affect those users.

One of our backend database servers has recently been experiencing corruption. This corruption has caused us to failover to our secondary system, which isn't as powerful. The switch, while providing stable performance, proved to be an issue because it caused a seemingly never ending string of slow requests and timeouts for those affected users.
Yesterday morning (around 9AM PST) we swapped back to our primary system after a restore and those users were once again online. We are making changes to that back-end server pair to provide better redundancy and a more stable environment.
