Re: Flooding I was thinking that they don't actually mean the datacenter it's self is under water. I figured that the surrounding utilities are under water. Transformers, gas mains, fiber slicks and remote terminals. A lot of sites use natural gas for their gen sets but flooding could disrupt the flow of natural gas. The gas company may have to turn off the gas because of fire hazards and you can't have an unlimited supply of fuel to run the gen sets. Then I found this.
"The progress: as of 6:00 am this morning, power was restored and the long process of rebooting the systems has began again. Proof of the progress can be seen in the main corporate website, t-mobile.com, being live once more. As more applications come online, retailers can expect to see their Samson, Watson, and iCam systems functioning normally. The earliest estimates put these all being corrected around 15:00 PST, however it may be up to 48 hours. Thankfully, though some IT staff did have to relocate during the flood, no one was injured from within the company, and additional staff have already been sent in to facilitate with bringing it all back online." |
