In what is a blatant advertisement for its products, HP makes a cool demonstration of its failover server technology by blowing up a data center.

The technology demonstrated in the video is used by more than a few companies, including Google. Essentially what happens is when a data center goes down, the load is immediately transferred to another data center so that, to the outsider user, it seems as though nothing ever happened.

Most companies can’t afford this sort of system, but thankfully, data centers don’t go down very often.
