Not pretty outcome, no matter how much redundancy you have.I believe the Uptime Institute has some statistics showing EPO problems are one of the top five reasons for critical facility outages. Almost no telco CO's have facility-wide EPOs. Equinix facilities do not have facility-wide EPOs.Fire code is not compatible with Union rules.The fire code is your friend. Learn it, use it, follow it. It doesn't always say what everything thinks it says. Following the code, you can build a telecommunications facility without an EPO next to every door.
---- Like anything, clue is hard to come by in consistent quantities. Yes, you can do a lot of things once you understand the code, but even a small (areawise) EPO causes lots of problems for whoever's equipment was hit. If the reason was a disgruntled Union worker, so much's the pity. DJ
