Hi All,

I have seen other people discussing power availability on other threads

Hi,

I remarked on it. FWIW, my experience is that commercial data centres do not avoid 'unscheduled outages', no matter how many steely-eyed assurances they give. It seems rather imprudent to assume that power is never going to fail.

No matter how many diesel generators, rooftop tanks, or pebblebed reactors you have, somebody is inevitably going to kick out a plug... at least in most of the real world.
