Ubiquity Server Solutions announced late today that it would be canceling all plans to participate in the May 21, 2011 worldwide rapture event as predicted by Harold Camping.  While initial contingency plans  were to simply increase security measures during the rapture, at the last minute Ubiquity regrets that it must withdraw all participation in current and future apocalyptic events.

Citing a preexisting commitment to a 100% uptime SLA, Mike Gazzerro of  Ubiquity Server Solutions stated Friday that “allowing an apocalyptic  event to occur in the datacenter would pose a serious conflict of interest to customers and Ubiquity alike.  We regret any inconvenience this may cause to clients trying to avoid past due invoices by waiting until the end of the world.”

This change in policy will not affect current customers using Ubiquity services for hosting game servers set in post-apocalyptic scenarios so long as those game servers do not cause a datacenter-wide doomsday situation.

HostJury will update this story later today... if we're here. Its a long weekend in Canada!
