Other than the room heating up enough to cause equipment to shut down?

there was no service impact at Equinix - the notice they sent out was purely advisory. Sounds like  someone has got critical systems at the airport without protection.

>From what I've heard they're moving to Sabre -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabre_(computer_system) - much more powerful
than Navitair's Open Skys/Skylights, so hopefully we see that plus much
more from their booking engine.

I just hope Virgin Australia do move to a proper booking system - if you
fly internationally with an itinerary of more 2 flights to get to your
destination then it's all a bit hard.  (You have to do it all by phone,
they lose important facts like you're travelling with kids etc and so sit
your kids randomly through the aircraft!).

Then you've been punked. :-)

Actually I quite like flying with Virgin. Clean, new planes and super
friendly staff.

You might enjoy it like a pile of other QF FFs have.

Think of it as a lesson in manners.

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.

I made a similar comment in Twitter just now. One spot in one data
centre for such a critical system?

Without knowing any details about their business, that seems rather
slack and obviously doesn't work.

 It looks like the EQUNIX outage blew up airports Australia wide that
use Navitare.... whoopsie.

Mind you, this is the second time Navitare has failed without a DR
system... you'd think they learnt the first time around.

The outage was caused by a power failure at a Sydney data centre that
affected the Navitaire reservations system, explained Jetstar spokesman
Stephen Moynihan.
Navitaire, a subsidiary of the American firm Accenture, provides check-in
and boarding services to all four airlines.
Virgin Australia spokeswoman Melissa Thomson said the airline would move
to a new IT system next year and would no longer be using the service.
