My Day - Server Installs

Any Particular reason you all did not decide to go cloud. Our CEO was like if we loose internet production is dead in the water. I brought up that physical power is our weak point. In the past year we have had about 10 separate power outages due to lines or accidents.

Last night even some guy took out a breaker box with a fork lift. So I had a plant go down for 3 hours until it could be replaced. He is lucky he didnt wind up dead with that 440

We rely so heavily on fast speeds and disk I/O that the cloud is just not feasible for our type of environment.

We do have a generator for power failures and failover internet lines but we still do not see ourselves going cloud in the next 5 years, well this is for the production environment, I am looking to go cloud for emails though. (Office 365 mail)
