And this is a trial for how a Carrington event will look like.
- pmlnr 2y agoYou mean the part that anything above 130nm technology would be fried?
- belter 2y agoYes. For the moment I just want to see for how long the AWS Spain Region will stay up...
- kortilla 2y agoUnless this extends to many days, the diesel generators will cover this easily.
- Calwestjobs 2y agomost datacenters do not use diesel, but gas/methane/natural gas - utility connection, that way you do not need to truck/store anything. and so being located in middle of city you do not want ten of thousands of liters of diesel in tanks there. same applies for luxury high rises in europe, almost all if not all of 20+ story buildings built last 30 years have them on roofs.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y ago> and so being located in middle of city you do not want ten of thousands of liters of diesel in tanks there. Why? Every gas station stores that capacity.
- Calwestjobs 2y agogas stations, at least in europe, have "safety zone" around them. also depends on data center, some datacenters are directly in middle of european city. in most dense part of city and dense in europe or asia is something else then dense in america.
- kortilla 2y agoThis isn’t true in the US and would be a huge dependency risk. Natural gas networks require electricity to operate. > and so being located in middle of city you do not want ten of thousands of liters of diesel in tanks there. This is based on FUD. This is the case all over the US and they don’t cause problems. It’s interesting that Europe has taken such a brittle approach to infrastructure.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoWhy 130nm?
- pjc50 2y agoI don't think this is true, and I would like to see an explanation of how it might be that quantifies the effect: are we talking electric field strength or magnetic field strength? Modern parts are generally better at ESD than old ones, as well.
- megous 2y agoI just look to Gaza strip as an example how society continues operating under extreme adversity from the western powers, incl. total lack of electricity distribution for more than a year and a half and full blockade of water, food, and medicine. No need for imaginary scenarios.
