oh dear they say truble comes in 3's whats the next thing to happen to them
in all fairness claranet lost theirs as well, was a prob with the datacentre power
but shouldn't the datacentre have a redundant power supply that should kick in when the main power does fail..? Unless that datacenter don't have a redundant power supply hmmmmm

"Anyway, my thinking is that it looks like Plus.net were themselves the victim of this incident and there wasn't really much that they could have done short of having a duplicate backup for the service somewhere else."
They have three suites in Telehouse Docklands. Both Telehouse North suites are located in the same room served by the same power equipment. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that the third suite should have been located in another room or floor at Telehouse. The third suite could have been located with another datacentre provider entirely. The effect of this mornings power outage would have been substantially reduced had that been the case.
