    Are you worried about your servers in Texas?

    i know some pretty big datacenters are in Houston and other parts of Texas too... so are you a little worried if you host in that state?

    Rackspace is, and yes I am. I have been doing full offsite backups regularly.

        yes i'm surprised more people haven't been talking about this potential huge risk and downtime from power outages, etc...

          Yeah, I'm on rackspace too. Their contingency plan seems pretty good but I'm not quite sure how they plan on mirroring their entire datacenter to the UK. Well, hope for the best...

                here is a memo i just got from one of my hosts...

                "We are a couple hundred miles away from the shore, so storm surge is not that large of an issue for us, however flooding, and extended duration power outages from city power grid remain a concern.

                Rest assured that we have and are currently taking pre-cautionary measures to do our best to ensure service continuity during the hurricane. We have tested our backup resources and are fully prepared for the hurricane. We do have a network engineer on site to ensure network stability, should any outages occur within our peer or transit provider groupings.

                The mayor has issued mandatory evacuation notices for Houston, and other parts of Harris and Montgomery County, however most of our executive staff, as well as some volunteer technical system administrators have pledged to stay behind and we are currently taking shelter in our datacenter building. We are currently running with a skeleton staff however are handling critical support requests such as reboots and other urgent issues. We will have at least 4 staff members available at the datacenter during the storm to handle any problems that will arrive during the storm. Our offsite technical support team will be fully staffed during the duration of the storm."

                                                I wouldn't be worried, I'm sure the datacenters are some of the best places to be in the event of a storm

                                                EV1 is pretty huge though, so that would affect a lot of people. Luckily The Planet is far out of the way.

                                                      I wouldn't doubt it. I have been there several times, from the outside you would never guess what it was. It's pretty impressive inside too.
