Any piece of equipment can fail, if you're not prepared to handle it then its not the datacenters fault... Being prepared is the key. In our case, its a 16 slot LTO3 changer with daily mysql dumps.

GlennAllen join:2002-11-17 Richmond, VA	reply to Spike Well, yeah--that's my point. When those you pay for "preparedness" don't deliver on what you're paying them for, it is their fault.

What do you think Justin? I remember correctly I think he said he had 1 000 000 registrations of whiche 10% were active members? 1 000 000 * .1 / 2 * $10 = $500 000 But yeah... I would contribute to the virtual hat. If not perhaps once the site is running again buying some tool points or upgrading to premium might be the best way to support the site.

TamaraB Question The Current Paradigm Premium join:2000-11-08 Da Bronx Reviews: ·Optimum Online ·Clearwire Wireless	reply to GlennAllen said by GlennAllen: I'd say to send the bill to whoever was supposed to be providing [uninterruptible] backup power. When I co-located servers at data centers, I always installed my own UPS'. If power to my equipment failed, indicating something really really bad has happened, my UPS would kick in and trigger an immediate shutdown, then wait cold for me to physically bring them back up. This saved my butt twice when the rack my servers were in was cut off from AC power; once due to an electrician shorting out a cable under the floor, and another time when some datacenter tech tripped the wrong breaker. Neither case involved a general datacenter power fail. Bottom line; the server owner is ultimately responsible for the safety of the co-located hardware. If your servers are unnaware of an imminent power failure, you are SOL! Bob -- Would you ever go over to Czechoslovakia, and marry me daughter for me?"

GlennAllen join:2002-11-17 Richmond, VA	Then if your UPS' failed, it would be the fault of the UPS manufacturer--which would invoke their warranty I presume (unless, of course, it/they failed due to your own failure to replace an old battery). My point, however, is still the same: if you're paying someone to provide such uninterruptible backup power, and that someone fails to provide such power when it becomes needed, then--bottom lilne--it's that someone's fault for not providing that power as contracted.

BronsCon join:2003-10-24 Concord, CA	reply to dennismurphy I'm pretty broke right now, in the middle of moving, but I'd chip in $5. More after I'm done unpacking boxes, if the fund is still open.

Fault is irrelevant, as is blame. Every colo contract I have ever seen absolves the colo facility of any damages if they fail to live up to anything. If BBR had a few UPS' on their rack, the cost would be nothing compared to what is now being incurred. I doubt Nac.net can be sued for the damage, they, I am sure, have their asses covered.

GlennAllen join:2002-11-17 Richmond, VA	You're just making the assumption that BBR didn't contract with anyone to provide uninterruptible backup power. I make no such assumption, so I still stand by my original statement.
