Google announces disaster recovery. I’m eating a sandwich. Which is more newsworthy?

Comments Off

Either it’s a slow news day at the Googleplex or someone felt the need to restate what (hopefully?) is the obvious: Google has the ability to restore all of your Google Apps for Enterprise data, should something go horribly wrong.  Or, as they put it:

Our goal is not to lose any data when it’s transferred from one data center to another, and to transfer your data so quickly that you don’t even know a data center experiences an interruption. Of course, no backup solution from us or anyone else is absolutely perfect, but we’ve invested a lot of effort to help make it second to none.

But seriously, I am eating a sandwich.  When I read this, I tried to find something to justify almost 1,000 words.  It’s like your bank calling to inform you that they do, in fact, have enough reserve cash, just in case they were robbed or a disaster occurred.  Like me, you would find more concern in the fact that they felt the need to let you know, right?

Anyways, maybe someone else can make sense of this.  http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/disaster-recovery-by-google.html
