Re: OVH datacenter SBG2 in Strasbourg on fire ????

It is terrible timing with the company planning an IPO and also because the French government has heavily backed OVH. I 
think some government websites went down. France has a statist tradition that leads it to get involved in industries 
where has no expertise.

and a few hundred of us hoping we never have to stand in front of that
camera to explain a similar incident

a few things stood out: where backups are located, the ability to build
a lot of new servers and the supporting infra, ...  but in a week or two
i hope he can tell us results of more analysis.
