I must be missing something, what is the reference to 'Finger trouble'? -----Original Message----- Phil Payne
Well, a large part of it for over three days. Anyone remember when a mainframe last brought down a hospital for three days, let alone eighty of them? Also a cautionary tale for the outsourced - if there are only enough engineers to bring up n customers an hour, have you got your priorities sorted out? This really is a cautionary tale - making the intangible "what if it all goes wrong" much more tangible. And note the really good bit: "The original outage was preceded on Sunday with a team of engineers being called to investigate a problem with the interruptible power supplies that usually prevent losses of electricity to the computers in CSC's Maidstone data centre. While they where working an unexpected power spike was shot around the data centre, taking out its main servers." http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/02/private_before_nhs/ (Giggle - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32550 ) -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
