Same same, take a month or two to rebuild…. At least with nodes, half of the Infrastructure is moved out into the field.

A building is a SPOF, and they fail easily enough like Warrnambool did (and other exchanges have caught on fire too in the last 15 or so years, like Glenunga and Kangaroo Island.)

What happens if an NBN POI catches on fire and burns down?

That’s unfortunately reasonably common in the scheme of things… either at the DC operator level or simply on the PDU level where the PDUs fail or simply the circuit trips due to unexpected surge…

Evenly distributing the load across PDUs and understanding the finer details of circuit breakers in individual PDUs are typically a start to avoid unnecessary “outages”.

However something like https://www.techflowit.com.au/products/apc-ap4421-rack-automatic-transfer-switch-230v10a-c14-in-12-c13-out-1030477 is a must in our opinion when customers are operating single PSU devices in their infra!

There’s a lesson in that

Failed STS according to the incident report that came out 20 mins ago.   One hopes that means that only customers without A+B to all devices dropped?

Someone is looking over the rest of us today, sorry to hear that guys.

We’re in a private cage and have racks across the DC so maybe everything in one specific disty board but they’re separated A+B and to different UPS’s so that’s scary.

Hi All,

Hearing reports (and lost our cage) in SY1.

Apparently nobody answering the phone at Equinix. Is it just me or have others seen it too?

Cheers
Matthew

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
