Share Your Scary DR Story Around the Bonfire
Last year we were frightened by some horrific DR stories from around the world. This year we are at it again.
It is time to wander into the woods, sit around the bonfire, roast some marshmallows and share your most nightmarish DR stories!
The best story will be featured on our upcoming webinar.
'My scariest story ...
an old server room of a very large manufacturing company was under a sewage tank.
One auspicious day, the cleaners accidentally punch a hole in the sewage tank on the floor above.
The sewage literally fell on the NetApp boxes in the server room below.
I was called around lunch time.
The customer told me "CF, we are in deep sh*t! Literally sh*t!" I will never forget that moment.
I had to scramble to loan NetApp gear from resellers.
I got the stuff together and drove 5 hours up north to deliver to this manufacturer.
I got there at 1am, and the other engineers were cleaning 5 NetApp systems with everything removed to its barest parts.
By 4am, we had cleaned almost all with industry cleaning fluid and had put the NetApp systems back together again.
As the fan turns, the smell of the data center room was something I will never forget.
Surprisingly 4 of the 5 NetApp ran without a hitch.
The customer decided to use their insurance to replace the machine.'
