Thank you.  I was a SysAdmin for a large development shop back in the late 90s early 00s and it's inspiring to see that the emergency fail-over processes twenty+ years later work about as well as they did back then.

I lost count of the number of times the power didn't fail-over to the batteries/UPCs/backup generators. I spent a lot of weekends recovering UNIX servers and workstations that lost power and had their filesystems corrupted.
