You can take out the data center with a sawzall, simply open the vaults and handholes in the street where the fibers enter the building and cut them. Or blow up a manhole across the street from a patsy RV. Which is what they did.
This isn't the movies. You really think that there's just one data line going into the building?
Any competent data center has multiple physically separate ingress/egress points. When I ran a rack of servers 20 years ago, the data center that hosted them had three different points on the building that internet came to, from three different peers.
There was clearly something there that was a single point of failure, but it wasn't something that a sawzall alone would take out.
You are talking out your ass.You dont know what you are talking about.
Any competent data center?
There arent many.
How many data centers do you locate all of the buried utilties for? Asking for me because I do and have done so in dozens of states. Cut the feeds to the building and it is down until they splice in new lines.
Your old data center had three lines cool. So someone opens 3 handholes and cuts the cables. Now your data center is down in about 15 minutes.
I read that the only reason there was an outage was because they cut the power. Half of the block was destroyed. I’m sure there were a great deal of downed power lines or other extremely dangerous electrical issues. Of course you would cut the power. And yes, there is a fail safe back up.... a natural gas powered generator. The natural gas was also turned off to prevent further explosion.
