:-).. The help desk call goes something like:
Hello? Is that the IT help desk? Good, None of the computers are working in Building A. Where can we go to access a working computer, it's urgent. That can't be right, I can ping your server from here, are you sure all of the computers are down? Yes, there is now power. A crane fell through the roof ten minutes ago, and the power had to be shut off. Is this some sort of crank call? I can remote control the server, and the comms rack, so as far as I can tell, nothing is wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hamish McBrearty" > I got told an interesting story about a server UPS and storms. Something > along the lines of, "A UPS isn't much good when it keeps your server > running after the roof has been ripped off by the wind and rain and debris > are landing all around your server"
