Post from Ian Barker – Embarcadero
Many of you will have noticed by now that we are currently experiencing disruption to some of our services. In particular the RAD Studio installer, the GetIt package manager in the IDE, our Quality Portal, the DocWiki documentation site, certain authentication functions in connection with registrations, and other miscellaneous facilities.
This is caused by a hardware outage at one of our data centers. RAD Studio 12 download volume spikes tasked our infrastructure more than expected. We’re working on restoring the hardware with replacement parts. Our teams are focused on restoring all services as soon as possible but we currently do not have ETA for full resolution.
As soon as we are sure service has been restored or we have other updates, I’ll update this post. Meanwhile if you have a specific question or concern, please contact Support.
Note from Barnsten:
You can use the ISO to install the software. You can find the ISO installers on our website:

25th January Update
The Embarcadero IT team is still working on restoring and migrating some of the systems that have been affected by this hardware outage and we’d like to provide you an update:
- The DocWiki site has been restored and should now be working fine, see https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Athens/en/What%27s_New
- We have also added two downloads for Local GetIt packages on my.embarcadero.com, with a small number of GetIt packages, including IDE extension, core components, and FMXLinux. This is the same we did in the past, see https://blogs.embarcadero.com/embarcadero-getit-packages-download-for-rad-studio-11-2/ .
- The Quality Portal site, which was only partially affected, has been back to regular work for a few days.
- The GetIt site (also used for the product installation) is still affected by the outage. The team is not only working on restoring it, but also on migrating it to a new infrastructure.
