I'm also a bit surprised about Hillsboro. The FEMA is assuming that when (not if) The Big One hits, everything west of I-5 is going to be toast.
Is placing the entirety of such a critical cluster in a known earthquake and tsunami zone a good idea? It looks like their disaster recovery to Europe didn't really work either...
Yeah. Moreover, looking at the map, the DCs around Hillsboro are terrifyingly close to each other.
By the way, assuming an ideal control plane (in contrast to data plane) would be 3 DCs at a distance of about 20-40 miles, are there any mitigation techniques so that a seismic event which destroys a single DC doesn't also sever the comms between the remaining two?
