Disaster Recovery
Via /., Computerworld has an interesting article on how an ISP was back up and running 72 hours after their office was flattened by a hurricane. Interesting stuff…
The Jackson, Tenn.-based company that serves about 10,000 Internet and 2,500 telephone customers was closed for the weekend, awaiting the return of its 17 employees the next morning. Just before midnight, however, all hell broke loose. An F-4 category twister touched down just outside of town, then tore through Jackson’s downtown area, leveling houses, historical sites and municipal buildings alike. The tornado ripped straight through Aeneas’s one-story building, leaving only a pile of rubble.
Reminds us all just how important being prepared in the event of a disaster is.
