amazon's own webpile couldn't deliver my order history a hour ago....
I love the CIO's that mandate all internal critical systems are running on high availability high grade hardware, with redundant fiberswitches, multipath network connections, san storage, etc, then decides its all too expensive so outsources things to the likes of Amazon and Google, who are using the *cheapest* of commodity hardware they can get away with.... The irony of this escapes the suits.
