#12Apparently there was a fire in a Datacenter - theres a thread on /r/sysadmin by an insider. https://np.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/ao4g2y/wells_fargo...
Incredible. They had all their mission-critical infrastructure in a single data center. How many billions of dollars do they make per year? And they can't afford even a tiny bit of redundancy?
If I were a customer, I'd use this as a sign that this company is not technically competent enough to manage my money.

> No power to any of the network or compute equipment and some failovers did not work as expected.
Wonder if it was the switchgear that failed. Amazon uses custom firmware in its switchgears because this happens so often (Superbowl 2013 etc.)

#15One data center brings the whole bank down?
Right...
This is suspiciously quickly after military exercises in LA right next to a Wells Fargo. It looked like something was being carried out of the building.

Local fire Department commented on their facebook page [1] that dust from construction triggered the fire suppression system and not a fire. [1] https://www.facebook.com/LakeJoFD
The next worst thing for electronics after fire - water! Or are there non liquid fire suppression systems such as pulling all the oxygen out of a room (if there aren't any people in it)?

Why didn't it failover to their backup datacenter in another geo?
