Japan earthquake datacenter damage

[DZ]

I'm told that this is from a datacenter somewhere in Japan. I added the aproximate weight of the 5 racks shown. These are all disk storage subsystems. I'm also told that these all stayed up, despite the fact that they fell over! Thought it was neat enough to share, enjoy!

That is pretty cool 100% uptime even if the rack falls over! looks like a nice Datacentre but usally racks are bolted to the floor with the footplace supplied.. though no one seems to do this!

The irony of the situation is they would have had to power down and de-rack all the kit to upright the rack!
