I have a question: does anyone seriously accept "oh, power trouble" as a reason your servers went offline? Where's the generators? UPS? Testing said combination of UPS and generators?

Sad that the little Telcove DC here in Lancaster, PA, that Level3 bought a few months ago, has weekly full-on generator tests where 100% of the load is transferred to the generator, while apparently large DCs that are charging premium rates, do not.
Perhaps they do. Wouldn't have mattered in this case if the big-red-button rumor is real. ;-) -Jim P.
