Re: MAJOR NETWORK ISSUE (17 Jan 2012)

I can imagine what's sensitive. The opposition would seize on any information that might lead them to conclude and expose insuffient resilience on VM's part.

As many techies will know, you can algorithmically re-route when there is a node failure; this put pressure on other nodes but is in any case standard everywhere these days.

Plus you can put in physical resilience so that another device takes over with the same IP address in case of failure of a key device. I suspect that didn't happen. If there is a site failure then, of course, this measure is not effective).

The trick is to do proper reliability analysis, identify the potential critical items and design the risk out accordingly. Just so you know, this is one of the day job things I do.
