Http is the system for sending and receving information over the internet.  

Secure http or https was created specifically for log-in pages for banking, forms, corporate log ons, and other applications in which data needs to be secure.  The additional encryption requirement within https makes it a more secure option than http -- though not all uri/url can communicate within the https requirement so may default back to http.

Https is not perfect, continue to be wary about accepting questionable certificates and cautious with personal information while using the Internet.

We are excited to be upgrading our internal telephone system tonight.  While our phone system is being customized to match our clients needs we have been informed our system may be temporarily down. 

We will continue to monitor our helpdesk system during this transition, if there are any messages needing to reach our office and the phone system is not active, please submit a ticket and our technical team will be with you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience with our technology upgrade.

Evolve Systems has been informed that there is an issue that is going on at our hosting facility on the East Coast. This issue is not related to our servers, but is slowing down our connections to the data center itself. There are technicians working on the issue right now and we will keep our customers informed as this situation develops.  Please know that everything is being done to bring the data circuts back in line with normal operation.

UPDATE:

At 2:03 the Data Center was able to re-route the traffic to a new set of circuts and traffic has returned to normal. This issue did not affect any of our servers or the data center itself, just the traffic being routed to and from the data center.

Thank you!

Evolve Systems
