One of my previous employers only lost our east-coast colo facility twice in their couple decades of existence:

- once when the DC ran out of diesel and couldn't get any more after Hurricane Sandy

- once when the backup generators caught fire and the fire department needed to kill grid power to the facility

Everything else is pretty reliable or easier to decouple from the local real world
