That's not what happened! It's the computer system that failed. The entire administrative team didn't just up and die.

Also, "centralize administration" just means that you can control everything from a single location. It doesn't preclude being able to control from multiple locations.

Think of AWS, you can control everything across multiple data centers from a centralized interface from anywhere with an Internet connection, even if entire data centers go down.

A sane system should essentially allow delta to operate from many possible locations seamlessly as long as they have the human operators required.
