:Um..wow. Obviously they had backup generators, but if the generator is feeding the transformer, which then feeds power to the air handlers, then there's no real backup for that.
Backup generators can't help much if someone knocks out the device between the generator and what you're trying to power.
Thats not what happened though. They successfully transitioned to back up power and then switched back to utility power w/o knowing that the utility was planning to kill the power again for the safety of rescue personnel. They shut down some servers as a precautionary measure because of repeated cycling of the chillers. My take from the press release is that the chillers aren't fully on the back up system or they wouldn't be cycling repeatedly.
