As some may know, yesterday 151 Front St suffered a cooling failure after E=
nwave's facilities were flooded. =0A=0AOne of the suites that we're in reco=
vered quickly but the other took much longer and some of our gear shutdown =
automatically due to overheating. We shut down remotely many redundant and =
non-essential systems in the hotter suite, and transferred remotely some ot=
hers to the cooler suite, to ensure that we had a minimum of all core syste=
ms running in the hotter suite. We waited until the temperatures returned t=
o normal, and brought everything back online. The entire event lasted from =
approx 18:45 until 01:15. Apparently ambient temperature was above 43 degre=
es Celcius at one point on the cool side of cabinets in the hotter suite. =
=0A=0AFor those who have gone through such events in the past, what can one=
expect in terms of long-term impact...should we expect some premature comp=
onent failures? Does anyone have any stats to share? =0A=0AThanks=0A=0A--=
