Waiting for 0 seconds is like dividing by 0.


then multiply by imaginary infinity, and add the square root of negative Pi, and congratulations, you've just killed a calulator!

Should have used that Bean-o before eatting the chili. Farts are good for digestion, but bad for relationships and aroma therapy...



Nah, the farts are the fun part, it irritates the wife and annoys her dog.

100% uptime HA costs HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars, plus full hardware replacement in multiple datacenters at regular intervals + running a backup internet. For $200/month@400K players, it MIGHT be doable.

**** happens. Move on with your life and come back tomorrow. The world did not end.


Hundreds of millions? Not quite. You can get very close HA (the OS's would have to reboot) with a VMWare cluster running your hosts and redundant SAN's connected to the cluster. I spoke to a Dev @ Eve Vegas and the issue running on VMWare ESXi was that when a node migrates from one server to another it either hangs on re-building the node. It seems more of a software issue than anything else, but if they really wanted to I'm sure they could find a solution to the problem.

Plainly put, relying on physical hosts to run everything on bare metal leads to long downtimes. Utilize virtualization, snapshotted data storage or continuous replication, and you can effectively ensure 99.99% update and razor thin RTO/RPO's for a few hundred thousand for a medium sized business. Not hundreds of millions. I do it at my job every day and have never had a time where systems weren't live within 5 minutes or less during a catastrophic failure. We also use Site Recovery so with a single click of a button we can bring our systems online at a secondary site within minutes should we our primary datacenter gets cratered.



Right... go ahead and snapshot their database servers, let me know how that works out for you. When would you suggest they quiesce them? Every 5 mins?

Heh' "site recovery manager" I should be so lucky to have an installation small enough to be serviced by a software fail over system like that.

Congratulations on being the second useful post in 5 pages!

As to everyone else rather than thinking of it in terms of hours or minutes until EVE is back online lets try to consider it in terms of useless comments in this thread. Like my contribution here.

Cheers all & Work Hard CCP minions!

The 1990's called. They'd like to let you know that this didn't work out, the nerds failed hard at running businesses, and every significant business is still run by the same type of person it has been since the industrial revolution.
