I'm mystified as to how Cisco.com can go down worldwide for 2+ hours during business hours and there is virtually nothing in the news about it. I managed to find this reference in the Register. Not surprising as the outage hit the UK in the middle of the day. I've not found any other comments.
How is it that the king of the networking world, preacher of all things BC/DR, can be down for 2+ hours and no one thinks it's a big deal.
If nothing else, it sure would be nice to get a root cause analysis from Cisco so we can have a "teaching moment". If there's a scenario where arguably the most savvy networking company in the world can suffer a catastrophic failure of a high availability service, we would all be well served to understand the details.
And Cisco's response about the dangerous power failure at the data center that I tweeted about? I'm not buying that. If that happened then it should have shut down and failed to the DR site. I can't believe that Cisco has all of Cisco.com in a single data center.
This is like your parents telling you every day not to smoke and then you catch them puffing away one day.
What's the deal Cisco???
