I thought each db server was on a UPS? If not, then why not? I also thought we had the capability to go read only from the other server farms when the Tampa farm went down. If not, then why not?
We are a top 20 website that makes more than enough money to hire enough people to make sure services decay gracefully and to make sure we have adequate redundancy. I'm working on the current year budget. Please start thinking about your staffing and equipment needs for the rest of the year.
