NYC Data Center Needs Focus On Fuel

Nerval's Lobster writes "Who knew that the most critical element of operating a data center in New York City was ensuring a steady supply of diesel fuel? In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the challenges facing data center operators in the affected zones include pumping water from basements, waiting for utility power to be restored, and managing fuel-truck deliveries. And it's become increasingly clear which companies had the resources and foresight to plan for a disaster like Sandy, and which are simply reacting. Here's the latest on providers around the New York area." And remember, having fuel for machines sometimes only means it's time to start the manual labor.

Such worldly concerns, tsk tsk

It is plainly obvious that this is the Lord's wrath for the sins of Americans. Maybe instead of focusing on yet more diesel and petrochemically extending your server's uptime you should focus on what will happen to your soul when your internal server goes down for good.

Immorality is the nexus of these calamities. Avoid them by getting your life right with the Lord.
