Anatomy of a Datacenter Disaster
by Catonic at 11:39 am EDT, Aug 2, 2006

Here's a blog entry from Dreamhost wherein they detail several problems they experienced in a rental datacenter which resulted in outages to several users at once. Supposedly, the facility is a very good one, but the article leaves me with some doubt due to the level of complexity in failures. Redundant generators, anyone?

This sounds similar to the situation LiveJournal experienced last year. Their datacenter provider (Internap) is Tier 1, but they still had some excellent power losses. Redundant data centers is really the way to go, but neither cheap nor easy.
