I'm curious...isn't that actually caused by the electric grid not being able to support the electrical need? The first sentence in that story doesn't even support the click-bait headline: "When record temperatures wracked the UK in late July, Google Cloud’s data centers in London went offline for a day, due to cooling failures." Wait, what? Here's the data: 1 - record temperatures 2 - data centers in London went offline for 1 day 3 - cooling failures But, cooling failures just mean that the A/C units weren't getting power, right? So, since they A/C units didn't get power the data centers overheated -- they might do this even without any outside temps. So, really it was cooling failures that caused the problems, not necessarily record temperatures. sure, the coolers were probably running more, consuming more electricity. Maybe the grid couldn't supply the demand? But that's another problem altogether, right? I'm just thinking about the actual data & what happened. I know there may be a lot of angry posts in response. Just curious about these kind of headlines that don't altogether add up. :rolleyes:
