Re: Fire, Power loss at Fisher Plaza in Seattle

Earth is a single point of failure, where is your backup site?

This reminds me of the 1996 thread about how MAE-East still had no generator. Same topic, roughly, some of the same people (hi, Sean). Sure, the line about the Earth SPOF is catchy, but in terms of more likely scenarios: how many people stand *outside* the "tier 4" datacenter and imagine a fire marshal pointing at the building and saying, "Turn *that* off, now." I've seen that happen a couple times since the WilTel POP thing in 1996. Stephen
