A company I work with (who's servers are located in the San Jose, CA)
is
looking to setup some backup servers at a datacenter whose connectivity
and
location is off any faultline, or away from other malady, that
mighteffect its
main servers datacenter or connectivity. Problem is, they also want them
as
physically close as possible.
Not possible and risky too. The effect of a quake can be worse further from a faultline. You need to take a look at some maps of earthquake risk based on the soil type and underlying geology. Or do what the banks do and set up the backup site in Sacramento. It's not that far.
It does me no good to go to a datacenter whose connectivity also comes from the same peeing points or fiber that would be effected or take down
a
data center in South Bay. Despite being off faultline.
This has been all worked out for you by other people who sited their data centers in Sacramento eons ago. --Michael Dillon
