A 72-hour outage would be seen as beyond catastrophic. What happened, or is happening here? And entire build of a data center, down the the metal, in place....with no functioning alternate site?
It's no catastrophe for me...Hyatt is going to be my 2nd program in 2016, so I just booked a Marriott instead. But if I were one of the hotels I wouldn't be real happy about this...
I agree with you. Down for 3 days seems like a major issue for any company and IT group. I don't know what's so hard about doing all your work in the background to an alternate site and then migrate in the changes after it's tweeked and working.
