We have done power tests before and had no problem. I guess I am looking for someone who does testing of the network equipment outside of just power tests. We had an outage due to a configuration mistake that became apparent when a switch failed. It didn't cause a problem however when we did a power test for the whole data center. -Dan On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 9:31 AM, Ken Gilmour <ken.gilmour@gmail.com> wrote:
I know Peer1 in vancouver reguarly send out notifications of "non-impacting" generator load testing, like monthly. Also InterXion in Dublin, Ireland have occasionally sent me notification that there was a power outage of less than a minute however their backup successfully took the load.
I only remember one complete outage in Peer1 a few years ago... Never seen any outage in InterXion Dublin.
Also I don't ever remember any power failure at AiNet (Deepak will probably elaborate)

Does any one know of any data centers that do failure testing of their networking equipment regularly? I mean to verify that everything fails over properly after changes have been made over time. Is there any best practice guides for doing this?
Thanks, Dan
