Here a fucked up fact. I worked for a company who had Datacenter 1 in Tower 2 and Datacenter 2 in Tower 1. We lost both datacenters along with most IT personnel that day. Hundreds of people lost. After that, our DR plans had to include “all hands lost” as part of the scenarios. Before 9/11, the thought of losing everything and everyone never crossed most IT departments’ minds.
Ouch. I have to ask, why did they number them that way vs numbering them according to the tower #?
But yeah, our data redundancy and contingency policy and SOP requires our offsites to be at least 50 miles away from each other. It’s not due to a specific concern for terrorist attacks, it’s mainly focused on natural disasters. But I feel like it also reduces the risk of man-made attacks.
