[AusNOG] Equinix Aircon failure

[Jeffrey Sims]

One thing I will say it's easy to back seat drive when you're not involved
but realistically, such a critical system with no DR either in
geographically diverse locations or even in the same DC but different rows,
power supplies etc?

No DR still in my mind, recipe for disaster...

I feel for all those people jammed in Airports, I might add I was mocking
the boss who is on a Virgin flight to day reminding him that QF remains
unaffected ;) so he booked my next set of flights with Virgin as
retribution.
