Well, we expect a full investigation to be launched and a report filed to
the group within 48 hours! It was a tough bout going with my CCO fix for
awhile. Don't know if can take that again... ;-)

If Cisco is anything like my company, then somebody probably was preaching
redundancy a long time ago but was put off as low priority against other
projects. Or maybe something was put in but never tested or not tested
recently after something changed? Being a large healthcare organization, we
have to test campus power failover monthly in order to comply with state
regulations. We usually find out which closets are not properly connected
to emergency power at that time. ;-)

Brad,

They are supposed to already be there..i am not sure why they didn't bring
them online for CCO..I heard the admins mention switchover..but apparently
they did not do it..

I think after today Cisco "may" implement a little redundancy...if they need
someone to host a webserver, I'm sure we can work something out!
;)

I'd bet that there's a bunch of servers being built right now in Raleigh.

thanks,

Importance: Low

Now, now, let's be a little more pleasant.

I'm sure that the more we learn about how entire systems and global load
balancers work, the more appropriately we'd be able to answer that question
ourselves without appearing like too much of an ass.

Sometimes, in the grand scheme of things, sh#$ happens. I'm sure whatever
horrible crime that someone committed there is being paid for internally.
Perhaps we'll see pictures of the public execution posted on Cisco's news
blog website.

Short of that, until you have all the facts and can make a better design
yourself (and perhaps be a touch more constructive in the criticism) then I
would think it safer to remain quiet.

Larry,

why are you taking mediocrity to a whole new level.

who cares if only K was down. As far as the end user was concern, end-to-end
connectivity was lost.

How on earth can one data center failure cause the entire website to go
down? ?????

Its either those in your IT group lack the competence in designing a fully
redundant network or Cisco itself does not trust its solution, hence your IT
group is skeptical about implementing the redundant soltions that you sell
everyday.
