Interesting. I thought that WMF had full
redundancy among at least two
physical sites for tech infrastructure, in case any location went
completely offline, such as if there is a fire or flood. Is this not the
case, and if so, is full redundancy capability planned?
We only have one primary datacenter right now ("EQIAD" in Ashburn, VA),
the others ("ULSFO" in SF, "ESAMS" in Amsterdam) are just cache
centers.
There is a new datacenter coming online which will be a full fledged DC
along with EQIAD, this one is called CODFW (in Dallas, TX). That DC is
not yet operational (machines are still being installed/etc) and after
it is there will still be work to make MediaWiki the software fully
multidatacenter aware.
