When Is Cloudy Day Is Better Than A Sunny One?

Cloud 999
It happened again, the cloud went away. Of course we are not talking about clouds in the sky, but one of those on the Internet. The outage was 8 hours this time - so a ‘working’ day. It was a Sunday, but that doesn’t mean that people aren’t working - we live in a 24×7 world, so 8 hours is 8 hours.

(Some) customers were quick to come to the defence of the service this time - but perhaps they wouldn’t have been if it had lasted a week… or maybe if it had been a Tuesday…

Choosing a service provider is not as easy as it appears - you do need to ask about their Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity plans and ensure their plans meet your needs, otherwise you could end up with no service and no business.
