I smell a migration of their infrastructure to Windows and a nice "Get the Facts" page about this disaster, how it could be blamed on non-Windows technology and how everything was saved (or, at least, made safe) by the deployment of Windows Server 2008.


Word on the street is that it was a botched SAN upgrade by a Hitachi tech. Of course, the fact that the Danger admins hadn't backed up the SAN before the upgrade made that fatal. Not even an offsite backup... crazy.


And that would be one of the bullet-points in the page: how hard it is to properly back-up stuff in *BSD as compared to how easy and foolproof it is under Windows 2008 Server.

In fact, I can almost smell a migration directly to Windows 7 Server or whatever the name they decide to use for that.
