Water Main Break Floods Dallas Data Center

Posted by Soulskill on from the five-thousand-hats-worth dept.

miller60 writes "IT systems in Dallas County were offline for three days last week after a water main break flooded the basement of the Dallas County Records Building, which houses the UPS systems and other electrical equipment supporting a data center in the building. The county does not have a backup data center, despite warnings that it faced the risk of service disruption without one."

    We've gotten used to being one country, but now we don't have anything in common.

    If you've ever visited Midland or Euless, you may doubt that we even share a species.
