TUXEDO Computers website and online shop haven't been available
background information

As you have already noticed, our website and the corresponding store were unfortunately unavailable for some time! We had to perform unpostponable maintenance work on the servers, which proved to be more difficult than it seemed at first. But only our website and online store were affected, all other services were perfectly functional!

BACK IN THE GAME!
BACK IN THE GAME!

Some technical background information

Our store system runs on a cluster consisting of three so-called nodes, i.e. three synchronously connected servers. These were supposed to be updated to Ubuntu 22.04 last week. In the process, unforeseeable problems arose regarding the dependencies on Ceph, the underlying cluster software. So far so good, since one node at a time should be updated. Although this takes time, it only has a minor impact on ongoing operations.

But as if the effort in time wasn't enough, the NVMe SSD of one of the remaining nodes went off while the first node was still disconnected. The cluster construct had collapsed, resulting in days of downtime - and a lot of work to recover. And even worse, the latest backups of the online store - which are taken hourly - were also no longer available, so we had to revert to a backup from late December now.

In fact, we have a service provider for hosting that specializes in the subject and operates 24/7 management, as well as offering special backup strategies. Obviously, however, all this did not save us from the fact that we now had to suffer a week-long downtime of the website and the store. In addition, the service provider did not clearly communicate how long the offline time would last, so we were late in working on an alternative.

Our other services, which we host and maintain 100 percent by ourselves, were not affected by the downtime, so we had to make a few decisions now.

The good news: We are back!

The recovery work on our store is now complete and we are back online since May 6th. You can now get information about TUXEDOs and place orders again! If it is not possible to log in to your customer account, we ask you for security reasons to use the "forgotten password" function and to set a new password. Thank you for your understanding!

However, there is one thing...

Due to the combination of the server and data crash, some orders have not been registered in the webshop. This means that for customers who have registered since the beginning of the year, no customer account has been created and no corresponding order has been saved in the store. Customers who had registered earlier also probably did not have any orders recorded between January and the end of April. However, since we make an import of the orders for further processing and we receive a copy of the order by e-mail, we can still track some data and enter it manually.

What we will do differently in the future

We have had to learn some hard lessons! First and foremost, we had to realize that we work best when we can take charge and do things ourselves. Therefore, we decided to stop using our current service provider and to buy additional servers to host the website and store system by ourselves. Furthermore, we will distribute our backups more widely than was previously the case, in order to be able to fall back on more copies in case of emergency. Also, as we have been planning for a long time, we will increase our staff.

Thank you very much for your patience!

Despite all the adversities of the last few days, we are happy to be able to offer you an online store again and we would like to thank you very much for your patience as well as the mental support we have received from you, especially via the social media channels!

Contact

We are personally there for you Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm (German time). But also outside these times you can contact our team with your request by e-mail. Please include your customer number, the model name of your laptop or PC and as detailed a description of your request as possible. The more details you give us, the faster we can process your request!

We might not be able to answer questions about third party hardware or software. For questions about popular open source software (Thunderbird, Filezilla...) please contact a forum e.g. ubuntuforums.org. The research effort for application specific setup is immense and not manageable at the current time. Basic compatibility questions e.g. are of course still welcome!

An extra function is available in your customer account for repair requests (RMA).

Shipping costs & delivery times

We ship your order to almost all countries, in Europe mostly even free of charge! The respective shipping costs and the cost threshold above which we will cover the costs for you can be found here or for international shipping in the table below.

 


Free shipping within Germany

There are no shipping costs within Germany for goods worth €100 or more.

 

7.99 € shipping cost at max!

No matter how many small articles you order, such as USB stick card reader, LAN adapters or fan articles, with us, you pay a maximum of 7.99 € shipping costs.

  • 7.99 € shipping fee for all orders below 100 € of goods
  • Free shipping from 100 € total value of goods

You can check all occurring shipping costs or if we even deliver for free right before sending your order!

 


International delivery

Here are the shipping costs as well as the amount threshold for your order. The threshold is referring to the total amount of your order, which enables free shipping.
 

Taxes and customs outside the EU:

For orders outside the EU there might be additional duties, taxes or charges needed to be paid by the customer. These don't have to be paid to the supplier, but to local authorities. Please check for any details with your local customs or tax authorities before ordering! But as a benefit you don't have to pay German taxes, this means you save up to 19%!
Due to the Brexit and the associated changes, there may be delays of several days in customs clearance on site for deliveries to the UK. This is not within our sphere of influence, so we ask for your understanding.
