we just came within 2 minutes of losing our entire data center. fire safety came by to check the panels and smoke detectors. literally, someone said “what does this button do?” and they tripped the emergency power kill to the entire area.
talk about a kick in the nuts for the midday. at least we were able to get things restored again in about 10 minutes, but our hard ceiling is 15, soft is 10. the most amusing thing is that our new UPS is sitting in the data center waiting to be wired into the grid. once that is live, we have 45 minutes before panic ensues.
