The video was badly prepared. He was talking about datacentre names as if the audience are his own employees and are fully aware of the different buildings. He could at least have some graphics.
He looks as exactly as stressed out and sleep deprived as you might expect given the circumstances.
OVH wiped my server a couple weeks ago for non-payment while I was in the middle of a support ticket to sort out a billing issue with my invoice.
Was asked for more information from a support rep. Server was auto-wiped less than an hour later.
Ended an eleven year relationship and after this fire I can't recommend them in good faith to anyone.
I'm glad they compartment their data centers. Having one data center for everything would be a big fail. I say this because you would be surprised at how many cloud services centralize everything in one spot.
The worst thing, in my opinion, is that there has been no communication from OVH directly to their customers. I am impacted and I have not received a single e-mail about the situation even now.
