Sphere XG and HoloBuilder Status Page

Sphere XG / HoloBuilder are cloud services hosted on the Microsoft Azure server. As there can be outages and other downtimes, e.g. due to maintenance work or possible issues encountered on the servers, we provide an easy overview to keep track of these and get further insight if there was a downtime on any one of our services.

Please go to the Server Status Page to get a detailed overview of the uptime of all Sphere XG & HoloBuilder services.


What information can be found on the Sphere XG "Status Page"

The status page is split into 4 sections:

  • Header

  • Uptime (Last 90 days)

  • Overall Uptime

  • Status updates (Last 7 days)

All information is update every 60 seconds.

The header

The header provides a general overview to see

  • at one glance what the status of all systems is (operational vs. down),

  • when the last downtime of any of the services was detected, and

  • when the next site refresh was/will be.
