Exclamation Server room survives a 6.7-magnitude earthquake test!

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen done to some very expensive server equipment!!!!


Who wants to setup an off shore game server company on a cargo ship with me?

That is indeed quite entriguing, yes. I do hope the server-rooms of the entropian universe am to survive such testing.

I hope EU is not to discontinue its existence due to a mere earthquake..


Post Scriptum
I am quite sorry for all corruptions this post may suffer from due to drunkenness..

If I remember a post from Marco or Frank, EU has several data centers around the world so an earthquake might effect a singular location and possibly some of the locations in EU but I highly doubt it would just stop functioning altogether.

The whole server farm on a ocean buoy or cargo ship is fairly cool....I'm just wondering who their ISP is and how I can subscribe!
