Yep, I worked for a hosting provider based out of Texas during the winter blackout in 2021. We had plenty of issues, but power to the DC wasn't one. Moved to a different company this years that uses a colo/cloud provider in Austin, and they didn't have any problems from the blackouts either. At the last place, they worked with power companies to run on generators for load shedding already, and in the event of failures, they had 48 hours or more of fuel on hand and contracts to get more fuel delivered as needed only in priority behind emergency services and hospitals. That's the point of using one of these providers; they try and plan for this sort of thing. |
