Another failure I've seen connected to overheating events is AC power
supply failures.

As some may know, yesterday 151 Front St suffered a cooling failure after
Enwave's facilities were flooded.
One of the suites that we're in recovered quickly but the other took much
longer and some of our gear shutdown automatically due to overheating. We shut
down remotely many redundant and non-essential systems in the hotter suite, and
transferred remotely some others to the cooler suite, to ensure that we had a
minimum of all core systems running in the hotter suite. We waited until the
temperatures returned to normal, and brought everything back online. The entire
event lasted from approx 18:45 until 01:15. Apparently ambient temperature was
above 43 degrees Celcius at one point on the cool side of cabinets in the
hotter suite.
For those who have gone through such events in the past, what can one expect in
terms of long-term impact...should we expect some premature component failures?
Does anyone have any stats to share?
Thanks
