Response to global Microsoft and Crowdstrike Outage

Most GPA Products are deployed on premise at our utility clients. The GPA Applications deployed are not directly affected by the ongoing global outage. However, infrastructure owned and maintained by our clients' IT and OT departments may be affected. GPA recommends reaching out to your internal IT and Cybersecurity teams to ensure the infrastructure is not affected. Any openHistorian and openXDA systems hosted by GPA for our clients are hosted on GPA premise and are not affected by this outage. All GPA infrastructure, including hosted services for clients, internal development, and code scanning systems are unaffected by this outage.

A small number of deployments using Microsoft's Azure AD integration for end user authentication may not be able to authenticate users until the outage is resolved. Any local Active Directory users and database users set up in the openHistorian/openXDA systems are not affected by this. GPA is committed to providing all necessary support to our clients to resolve any issues with GPA products coming from this outage. For any support with continued operation or recovery of all GPA product functionality, please reach out to GPA's support team.
