Disasters are always so much fun, when you're reading about them from a distance.
An IBM Z10 at EDS's Stockley Park site, west of London, fell over this week after vital microcode fixes had not been applied, because all the qualified staff had been fired.
Previously the updates would have been applied by the Stockley park hardware team, who have all been made redundant.
When EDS' disaster recovery plan kicked in, switching processes to another Z10 at Mitcheldean in Gloucestershire, a similar lack of maintenance scuppered the stand-in machine.
