    If your datacentre floods...

    Don't deny it:

    http://www.itnews.com.au/News/169054...rne-storm.aspx

    It's alleged by itnews that the MD of a datacentre denied that equipment had been damaged in a flood, but photos from people on the operating floor seem to contradict that.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: If your datacentre floods...

    I always wondered why anyone would place their computer equipment on the ground floor, particularlly if they live on a flood plain. One of our external IT support companies was out of action for 3 weeks due to floods in their area (admitedly it was their AC that caused the flood but hey ho)
