Briefly: Symmetrix still running after falling over in earthquake
Unbelievable. The image below shows an EMC Symmetrix that is still running after it fell over during the earthquake in Chile. We don’t have many details at the moment but our team got a pic of this DMX that fell over in the 8.8 earthquake that hit Chile.
On a serious note, our hearts go out to those in Chile who have lost their lives. Please treat this post more as utter amazement at what can happen during an earthquake from a technology perspective and not a slight at the human lives that have been lost or the hardship endured.
Mmmhhh,
This photo was brougth to my attention today and at first I thought: That’s amazing. But if you look a little bit further it is all too clean. Imagine an earthquake 8.8 Richter and the weigth of this machine falling down. One would expect much more rubbish around it. Not even the tiniest piece of rubbish is lying there. Or should I assume they first used the vacuumcleaner before taking the picture.
I.m.h.o. the event may be happened, but it is a fake picture inside this context of an earthquake.

Why is the rest of the datacenter on the picture undamaged? it was 8.8….
