Robert,
You are correct, I don't know if the electrical person was hurt
Or not..The PDU needed fixed first before anything would work. The
Bldg housed remote access, network, Data Center and DMZ environs..
A lot of us spent a 10 hr day yesterday getting it all back up and
Restoring servers and apps...

Actually taking out a UPS of that size is pretty serious stuff (not
exactly a small APC). Most UPSs kick in to smooth or provide power for
a short while prior to a generator being turned on. Might not have been
a way to get power to the area until the UPS issue was fixed -- just a
guess anyway.
It wasn't that long ago that our data center was down because someone
made a mistake during some power work and caused both UPSs to shut down.
We were down for an hour because of that. We spent quit a long time
afterwards making sure everything was up and operating the way it should
have.
I hope and pray that no one was hurt during the issue...

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.
