Imagine being one of Europe's busiest airports, IT being the foundation of your day to day operations. That makes high availability and business continuity a key principle of every system you implement, everything you do actually. Now imagine getting a call from the commercial datacenter that provides you with that crucial availability. "We sold the place, you are to vacate in eight months"
