Resending to list due to over-quoting. What went down: State government data center shared by agency of human services and agency of natural resources, with a thousand employees on site. Why it went down: Data center placed in basement of building near river in floodplain; tropical storm (nee hurricane) Irene comes to visit. Lesson learned, besides the obvious? A secondary data center, to be populated by the hardware your techs Sawzall'd out of flooding racks, has only as much utility as you have alternate work locations for the users. > -----Original Message----- > From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On > Subject: 1 minutes: best downtime story > > Hey all - > > I'm writing a paper about top causes of downtime.
