Power Outages In San Francisco Bring Down Major Websites
6 back-to-back power outages hit the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco Tuesday afternoon causing major havoc with popular web services. 365 Main is down, along with craigslist, Netflix, Technorati, Yelp, AdBrite, SixApart (including TypePad, LiveJournal and Vox) and it caused some problems at Current TV as well.
So the big question, where is the backup power at the data centers used by these services? UPS and diesel generators should normally be used a situation like this.
