When things work
I’ve mentioned in the past that our facility had some serious drawbacks during power outages.
During our migration to our new facility and data center a few weeks ago, we lost power to the building. Again this morning, we lost building power. Let me tell you what happened.
- Our servers didn’t even blink.
- The UPS jumped in right away.
- The backup generator kicked in right away.
- Emergency lights in the data center stayed on.
- The air conditioning stayed on.
- We were able to get into the data center with our access badges.
- Every network switch on each floor of the building ran on UPS power.
This sounds like one of those “well, duh!” moments, but I have to tell you, it was revolutionary for us. Every one of these things was problematic in our old building.
It’s wonderful when things work the way they’re supposed to.
