Breakdowns: 365 Main outage causes aftershocks in Web world
July 25th, 2007 at 8:07 amSource:Valleywag
Peter Thiel’s behind-the-scenes war with Sequoia Capital continues. The latest battleground? Gideon Yu, YouTube’s former CFO, had planned to leave after the Google buyout of the online-video site to hook up with Sequoia as a partner. Instead, he’s joining Facebook, the social network in which Thiel is an investor and a board member, as its CFO. It’s a loss for Sequoia partner Michael Moritz, who has feuded with Thiel’s Founders Fund. But it’s undoubtedly a gain for Facebook. The social network, whose board members already like to play fast and loose with revenue figures, needs a CFO who’s not above a little white lie. Like, say, YouTube’s budget. Or what his career plans really are.

Seen at 365 Main, the troubled San Francisco datacenter: A man being lead away by police, in handcuffs, screaming, “You have been trolled by nut rollers!” Could this have been the employee responsible for the outage?

We’ve now learned more about the outage at 365 Main’s San Francisco datacenter that knocked some of the Web’s most popular sites offline. The latest theory: An employee, reportedly drunk, hit the emergency-power-off switch in 365 Main’s Colo 4 room. Other sites located in other rooms were unaffected. This isn’t the first time 365 Main has suffered an EPO-induced outage; a major one still remembered by customers occurred back in April 2005, and another took place last year. After the jump, a gallery of the carnage caused, and a roundup of reactions.
Some of the affected websites — most of which are back online — played it straight with customers, like Craigslist. Others offered the usual pack of lies websites trot out. AdBrite, for example, tried to claim that the outage was due to “scheduled maintenance,” and RedEnvelope, the e-commerce gifts site which just today crowed about moving all of its Web operations to 365 Main, said the outage was a systems upgrade. Busted!
