Anyone who says power is an easy thing to do... is an idiot.
Generators fail, ups explode (they really do), copper wire explodes from metal fatigue. not to sound crazy... but power failure is a sign of success... why? because people are using yoru service!
what about proper maintenance? Still happens.
While I am prone to giggling over the downtime as well... and despite really not liking them at all for our own personal reasons.... shit happens.
The bottomline is this:
unless you spent a mint on datacenter, your shit is going down at some point.
not going down will prolly cost you double at least.
