BA IT collapse -- what effect on ttains?
In message
-septe mber.org, at 20:10:12 on Sun, 28 May 2017, Recliner remarked: That's why it's not wise to make precise accusations at this stage. Of course, any professional data centre shouldn't collapse for most of a day if there's a power supply problem. It should have UPS But unlikely to have hours worth of UPS. and ample backup power, plus, perhaps duplicated grid connections. Yes, they should have duplicated grid connections, although that ca be challenging if the reason the datacentre has been located where it is results from a local power source (a hydro dam is a common example). But even with all the precautions, it's well nigh impossible to exclude every single-point-of-failure, which can easily be in the equipment which manages the redistribution of power during an outage. -- Roland Perry |
