I just spoke to their NOC and was told that a power switch that is supposed to be able to switch them between 3 different power utilities failed at 12:30 this morning (friday). They bought and installed 2 large diesel generators today and are hoping to be back up using the generators within 30 minutes.
Yep this happens all the time, the transfer switch dies and then you are screwed because you don't switch to backup power. Your UPS system then run out of power and you are dead. That is why we are building a manual maintenance wraparound around the UPS AND the transfer switch so that if they switch does die you can manually have some guy bypass the switch.
