Last week, a senior Sun executive predicted " "You'll see a massive failure in a year," "We are going to see a data center failure of that scale."
I waited a few days to see how media and blogworld would react. Not much of a reaction at all..
Wow, if salesforce.com goes down a few hours everyone's on it like white on rice, but no statements from IBM, HP, EDS, Accenture (or even Sun's outsourcing business) that their business continuity plans are in place for their outsourcing data centers, they are going to test some crisis scenarios, that they think the Sun exec was being unduly alarmist...nothing.
I am sure these vendors are assuring individual clients, but just surprised as an industry this has not seen more of a reaction.
