The greatness in small things

Posted by zanox Board in Allgemein, Investing in sustainability, December 13th, 2011

At Christmas, it is often the small gestures, the small surprises, the small gifts that give friends, acquaintances, colleagues and relations the greatest pleasure. We at zanox also believe in the greatness in small things in 2011.

For example, this year we were able to support 20 individual microfinance projects around the world with small contributions via online microfinance platforms such as kiva.org or MyC4. Since 2008, we have supported over 45 different microfinance projects with more than 130 highly-committed entrepreneurs in developing countries all over the world. It doesn’t need much to turn the dreams of these entrepreneurs – and many more out there – into reality. All it takes is a small loan that stimulates motivation and grows over time.

In addition, we have supported two aid projects for children and their families with a donation. One of these is “Die Björn Schulz STIFTUNG” in Berlin, Germany, which provides help and support for children, youths, young adults and their families where affected by cancer and chronic illness, as well as those with serious and incurable diseases.

The other is “Save the Children”. This organisation fights for the rights of all children to health and survival, schooling and education, as well as protection against violence and exploitation, and rescues them from danger in the event of emergencies.

We hope that you like the ideas and follow suit.

zanox wishes you, your family and friends all the best in 2012!

Delayed Statistics

Posted by Britta Herbst in Allgemein, November 15th, 2011

Dear clients,
we would like to inform you that for the time between 9.20pm yesterday and 8.20am CET today, the statistics show empty results. This is affecting advertiser statistics, approval of leads and sales for advertisers, publisher statistics and publisher API. The reason is a failed job for processing the statistics. Tracking has not been affected.
The data is being processed at the moment and will be available at around 1.30pm.

We apologize for this inconvenience!

Your zanox Team

Technical update

Posted by angelika.ochmann in Allgemein, November 11th, 2011

Dear zanox customers and partners,

As we informed all of you we had a significant outage of our system on November 10th, 2011. We are pleased to inform you that all zanox systems and services are up and running again since 5:30pm yesterday afternoon.

The outage was caused by the failure of a central hardware component which is designed to be fail-safe. However, due to an extremely unlikely coincidence of events in our datacenter, key services were no longer available from 8:30am.

Immediately after this alert our teams were working with highest priority to recover the system. We succeeded to restore tracking and redirects from 12.30pm. Shortly after, all other services were made available step by step. At 5.30pm, all zanox systems were up and running again.

Over the next few days, we will be working around the clock to restore tracking data and to further reduce the effects of the down time.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

With best regards,

Your zanox team
