As the world becomes ever more dependent on the availability of centrally stored data, the chance of something going wrong keeps growing. And, even the savviest companies are vulnerable.
You can find the list, complied by Data Center Knowledge, here.
The article gives the gory details. Among the companies affected are some of the biggest names in the tech industry: Google, Amazon, IBM, PayPal, Twitter, T-Mobile, Sprint. Among the causes: fire, power outages, Tweet explosions, and, of course, the death of Michael Jackson, a phenomenon that brought news sites to their knees.
