After a silence of respect, a story about floors...
A few years back a big insurance company in France decided to build a new data center. For DR purposes they duplexed everything in the two suites. A server rack on the ground floor had an identical server rack in the same position on the top floor. A SAN on the ground floor had an identcal SAN on the top floor. Keeping the layout mirrored in this way helped reduce management costs.
Except they forgot to check floor loadings.
One day the top floor became the ground floor. Server rack crashed into server rack, SAN crashed into SAN. It took a long time to clear up the mess, and the impact on the business was so great the company was sold.
It is not only water that can fall through the cieling...
