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."

    This is Dallas, where the City Council is doing such a good job, they're trying to get 270% raises and to double the length of their terms.

    I know you meant to be funny, but the City of Dallas and the County of Dallas are distinct and unrelated governmental entities. You are complaining about the city, but the county is the one affected by the flood. Don't tarnish the bad name of the city with the bad name of the county.
