IEC computer glitch, can anyone explain?

The IEC WC server is suddenly unable to process results.

Can anyone offer some kind of explanation?

Yes, too many requests to server = too much server load = unable to process?

After 8 hours? Wasn't the equipment sized and tested? The system is fixed in size, all volumes are known within a small variance.

Like the IEC, that explanation doesn't compute.
