DirectNIC battles on through hurricane
Now here's a remarkable story of datacentre uptime. DirectNIC, which runs a datacentre in New Orleans, continues to run, undisrupted, despite Katrina, the damage she caused and the subsequent chaos and breakdown of law and order.
Quote:
Our staff is safe and well -- some have been working around the clock in New Orleans to keep clients running smoothly, and other employees have left to safer locations to keep an eye on the network from afar.
We are pleased to announce that we haven't lost service once during this entire distaster, and we have three weeks of backup power secured, and more resources are on the way.
Additionally, backup options outside of New Orleans are being implemented as an added precaution.

Bloody good show, but as The Reg say in their article, it's probably best that the staff depart from the office now.
