Sadly I've been hit with that as well.


My brother points out that you can use a rad hardened CPU. ECC should
take care of the RAM. :-)

I wonder when the former will become data centre best practice?

Alpha particles which "hit" CPUs must have their origin inside said CPU.

(Alpha particles do not penentrate skin, paper, let alone system cases
or CPU packagaging)

Thanks. But what about cosmic rays?
