Hi
The problem here is that this isn't a proper datacenter but just a bunch of adapted containers stacked on each other.
On top of that they use exotic cooling stuff, such as free cooling (wind tunnels) and water cooling on servers...
In anyways, they are in fact innovative, but i also believe that most users didn't knew exactly what they were buying... and one shouldn't compare apples with pineapples :-)
We should be happy that there were no human injuries. About the data/losses/etc, WYGIWYP applies (what you get is what you pay). I am sure they are pretty much protected by their T&C's (that no one reads).
cheers

Not sure when the Internet community saw the case of such a massive fire which destroyed the whole datacenter.
Have heard of minor cases here in the past and there & were mostly contained to few racks/DC rooms etc. Based on datacenters I have seen - pretty much all of them have those big fancy fire doors to contain fire in a give "DC room". Gotta see what report comes out eventually about the engineering failure.
