<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So, As a reminder a few years back
Amazon had a similar situation back east. (I forget which
location) The utility power went off and one of the Generators was
not working correctly. Before they were able to get it fixed the
UPS Juice went out and a section of servers went off-line. A few
minutes later power was returned. (Either utility or generator I
don't recall) But it took apx 1 day to get most the servers (And
Virtual servers on them) back online. However there was some
servers / virtual servers that were not recoverable. <br>
<br>
From my experience loss of power on a single machine generally
doesn't hurt the machine to badly. However when you have Hundreds
go off-line there are bound to be a few with issues. It just seems
to be that way. <br>
<br>
Also I do not Fault HE or Linode for only have Grid + Generator.
However I bet there are some UPS in there too.<br>
<br>
People tend to believe that there is just so much redundancy that
how could a thing happen. People need to see reality and as
mentioned before you do get what you pay for. However most people
do not want to pay for tons of redundancy. And even when you do I
foresee there are things that can still take you down.<br>
<br>
If there is more to the story sure I would like to hear as well.
But honestly I am guessing it was a failure with no foul play
happening. <br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Mark<br>

<div>Unless things have changed since I was last
there, yes. HE do not offer redundant power (at
least, not at FMT2).</div>

<div>HE offer a great price point, but as the saying
