That's a long time. Good UPS, or the most reliable power company in existence?
That's a good story in itself. That machine lived in a Level3 datacenter at 111 8th Ave. in NYC. I think the building (it's a giant, giant carrier hotel) provides the generator and the tenants are responsible for DC plant and UPS duties. So credit both Level3 and the building management. There have been outages in that area since that machine was powered on.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17998278 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 03:26:54 EDT Re: Uptime Record Showcase http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17998200 toadlife :

And, yes, in those 900 days there never was a remote vulnerability.

EDIT: My IIS6 servers at work are routinely up for 130+ days at a time.

Don't do it anymore because it is somewhat pointless unless it is a server.

My record PC uptime was 80~ days with XP.... and Modem and Router uptime record of about 200 days, which was really good for no UPS/APC and the unreliable power around here.
