Google is better designed than that. No single cable failure could cause a user-facing outage of more than a few minutes.

- bproctor 13y agoI'm pretty sure he was joking
- zecho 13y agoMaybe it was sarcasm all the way down?
- rgbrenner 13y agoI hope not.. If it takes more than a couple of minutes for you to figure out how to plug in a cable, I would wonder why google let you in the building
- dspeyer 13y agoIf it's a main multimegawatt power cable, it could take a while to plug back in (first the charred corpse needs to be removed). But it doesn't take long to redirect all traffic to another datacenter.
