Just asking as a major computer company in the UK had its server farm right next to the Hemel Hempstead oil refinery! Subject close to my heart as they host our payroll system - luckily the payroll was processed last Friday so I will get paid this month!
Makes you wonder what risk assessment was carried out before they decided to site the server farm there, doesn't it?
As they also were in the business of website hosting, I just wondered whether the Vodahost servers were better situated?? Or rather - what buildings are next door??
Joking apart, the timings of the explosions at Hemel were amazing - the IT company has up to 400 staff working in it on a weekday, on Sunday morning there were just 4 staff! All were okay! The building and servers are a write off!
Cheers
