On Easter Sunday, the data center where our server is located suffered:
A power surge, which caused
A power outage, which caused
Backup generators to deploy, which caused
A fire in one of the backup generators, which caused
Fire sprinklers to come on.
News from the datacenter was slim, except to tell us that they were awaiting a city inspector on Monday to approve turning the power back on.Rick Bin I don't believe they told you the truth here. First, generators are "outside", so any fire suppression system to extinguish a generator fire would go off "outside", not indoors where the servers are. Next, fire suppression would be a Halon system for a generator, being fuel is involved, not a water sourced sprinkler system. Wouldnt most electronic storage areas/ high voltage places be coded against a water based fire suppression system??? Water and electric dont mix sorta thing??? Grandfathered building??? Exempt from codes??? I doubt L.A. allows exemptions.

Thanks Rick!
Sorry for the capital outlay...
Maybe it was a "Glitch" like MTG keeps experiencing..
.24HCF is risen....
It was three days almost on the dot. Right?
Or having to buy a drink to take off your mask off on a plane....
On the bright side maybe you can leverage that additional capacity into some sort of shared redundancy plan..think options.(hopefully it is in a different geographic location)
I am just glad we have you looking out for us.
Keep up the good work!

I thought you were de-platformed, Rick Bin.
Thank you for keeping this place alive.

Rick, I know there was probably expense involved.
If you need help with costs, let me know. I'm sure others would chip in as well.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

If you look very carefully at the ceiling you'll see a sprinkler system in place. Hint: it's the red pipe. ![[Linked Image from sona-systems.com]](https://www.sona-systems.com/img/pictures/equinix-generators.jpg) Below are the generators at the Sentinal Data Center.
