Just imagine...you're in surgery..you've got your hand on someone's heart...and the freakin power goes out FOR TWO HOURS!!
All my network closets dumped their power, our redundant core routers..gone, our redundant wan routers that support our data circuits back to our corporate offices....gone, all phone service (inbound and out)...gone, all wireless access points for communication...gone!
Anyways, once the power was restored we got everything chugging along with no hardware failures!! That's 22 network closets and nearly 200 wireless access points..all good to go! 
So..in short...I'm back!  |
I had to live through 9 hours of 100% of the network down. That really sucked! In case of a power outage our back up generators will power all OR rooms, ER and the critical areas. The sh!tty part for us is a brand of our monitors need a hard reset and we have to go floor by floor trying to find them all.
Welcome back OBTW!
