They now posted their explanation [1] but I don't buy it. I find it hard to believe that the RBX incident happened shortly after the SGB incident without any connection between these two. They should have redundant networking (at least that's what they say) so one corrupted DB in RBX shouldn't have brought down the whole DC (or 7 DCs according to their system). Maybe they pulled corrupt data from SGB because it was down but I don't believe that at the same time of a power failure, two redundant network nodes got corrupted without any notice. Otherwise wouldn't that mean that one hardware issue can also bring down a whole region?
