What the sources support

UMass Amherst Information Technology reported that the MGHPCC data center's computer floor and services lost power on April 19, 2026, that power was restored, and that Unity returned to service that afternoon. A Massachusetts government release separately describes MGHPCC in Holyoke as a research data center serving researchers. This supports operating status on the dated service event, not real-time continuous operation, every system, or full utilization on the retrieval date.
