Web Performance: MySpace Offline
July 24th, 2006 by smp | Filed under Web Performance.I came in this morning to read on Netcraft that MySpace had been knocked offline by a power outage at their datacenter. [here]
The question is now one of how did this happen. There should have been contingency planning in the extreme for this type of event, especially for operations in the Western US. Backup generators, UPS, etc. should have been in place.
It would be very interesting to sit in on a post-mortem of this event.
