re: http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/2016e.html#93 Delta Outage the previous scenario https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_World_Trade_Center_bombing one of the disaster recovery/backup companies had a datacenter on low floor and was affected by the 1993 case. Earlier we had been doing the IBM HA/CMP product ... and marketing included meeting with SIAC (ran the datacenters for exchange trade transactions) ... had offices in the WTC. They had a datacenter in manhatten bldg that was carefully chosen to have different two water mains on two sides of the building, two different power feeds (to different substations) on two different sides on of the building and different telco feeds (to different central offices) on four sides of the building. They had had a recent outage when a power transformer (with PCBs) exploded in the basement ... and the building had to be evacuated and shutdown. http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hacmp I had coined the term disaster survivability and geographic survivability (as alternative to disaster/recovery) when out marketing HA/CMP. I was then asked to write a section for the corporate strategic continuous availability document ... but the section got pulled when Rochester (AS/400) and POK (mainframe) complained that (at the time) they couldn't meet the requirements. http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#available -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
