From a network engineer standpoint this sounds like false advertisement ;-)
("Your server can be moved to another rack non-disruptively. We just need to disconnect your network cable and connect it to another switch.")
But still, this is pretty cool
- duxup 2y agoIt's like every redundancy type system I have seen, either for data storage, or network traffic, or applications. Yes, it does prevent a thing or helps to protect from it, very true from that point of view. Except now whatever is orchestrating that redundancy is a new point of some seriously messed up failure (or even just management, testing, and setup) that you never had before ;)
