Which data center will crash and burn this year? - GoFuckYourself.com

Take a guess which data center will go down in flames or get seized by the FBI this year.
It happens every year:

2008

EV1 and RackShack and 9,000 total servers go out in ThePlanet data center fire
Popular host Alphared abandons their data center, leaving customers stranded

2009

Authorize.net, allrecipes.com, Bing travel and thousands of others burned in Fisher Plaza data center fire
Sidekick users lose all data when Microsoft data center upgrade goes awry
4,000 servers at Rackspace go down in four different outages
Most of Core IP data center seized by FBI due to one customer

2010

Wikipedia and many other sites go down when Amsterdam data center they colo in overheats
Wikipedia's OTHER data center in Florida burns
Quicken, Turbo Tax down for days due to power outage
Acronoc data center down, locked up for a week as owners flee the state

Any predictions for the major data center catastrophies of 2011?

We actually had servers at Acronoc when they abandoned their data center, but
although we couldn't get to our servers for a week our sites stayed up due to Clonebox.
It was the Alphared incident two years before that had caused us to launch Clonebox immediately
after a couple years of back burner development. Though Alphared didn't affect us directly,
it was a wake up call that we and the webmasters we work with could no longer have their
entire business at the mercy of a single data center.

So who do you predict will crash and burn this year? Any guesses as to the largest numbers
of servers that will be affected by a single incident this year? My guess is 10,000 servers
in one major data center.

I'd sure hate to see any big data centers around Redmond, Washington have any more problems.
That company has had enough problems - losing all the data from thousands of businesses
who used their "enterprise" office suite offering, then losing everything from thousands of smart phone users.

hasn't Amazon S9 already lost a good amount of data this year?

Wasn't that happened to reflected networks this year ?

Amazon. Burn every fucking backup so that they just disappear.

Yeah at first I had Amazon on my list, but then I removed the ones that were from the half of this year.

We're in four data centers now, so I'm just betting that not ALL of them go down at once and we'll always have a clone running from SOMEWHERE.

Amazon's EC2 Outage can go on that list as already having happened
