When the hardware is outsourced how would you propose testing the non-software components? They do simulate availability zone issues (and AZ is as close as you get to controlling which internal power/network/etc grid you're attached to).
Find a provider with a similar methodology. Perhaps Netflix never conducts a power test, but their colo vendor would perform such testing. If no colo providers exist that share their values on testing, that may be a sign that outsourcing it isn't the right answer... -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
