Damn good, Ill say. All thats missing then is a dedicated satellite linkup to broadcast in case the isp catches fire. :)
Yes. The servers are in San Diego, CA, so the current crisis has not affected them in any way. But of course, a future crisis could affect them.
But the server facility has multiple backup power sources. My understanding is as follows:
- The server co-location facility has two
redundant connections to different parts of the local grid, to protect against a highly localized failure due to unauthorized digging and the like.
- In the event of power failure anyway, there is
apparently battery backup for a sufficient time for the generators to get going.
- There are two redundant generators in case one
fails to start.
- There is enough fuel on-site to run for 12 hours
(I think), and the facility has a "2 hour" contract with local suppliers so that they can call and get more fuel delivered within 2 hours.
None of this is an absolute guarantee, of course, but it's pretty good.
