Wow. So I just got to work and I found out what happened to myspace.

[Chrono]

Had to shut down their hundreds of servers because of heating issues. The HVACs went down and are now only starting to come back up. Good lord it is hotter than a mother @#$@#$ in there.

 

[mchammer]

Lol, what kind of POS datacenter are you guys running down there?

 

[Ayah]

Permanently shut down myspace.

One that suffers the same power outage issues that any other company would...

Backup generators?

It's possible the units themselves went down instead of the power.

Obviously they had power of some sort because the servers were still online but their cooling system went out, maybe from the surge.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

nice, you can format all the servers there. give it about 72 hours before mass suicides begin to occur.

 

[Kadarin]

Apparently myspace has never considered implementing GSLB or at least plain vanilla dns load balancing to multiple datacenters.
