37signals publishing uptime data

I was a bit surprised when I checked out their hosting situation. Only in one DC (suburban chicago) and up until about a year ago they were only using one network provider. Now they're on three, apparently they had some real pain points before being multi-homed. I'm guessing the year's timing isn't accidental.

Still not bad numbers considering. Running multiple DC's can be quite a pain in the ass and a money drain, and maybe that's one of the advantages of having really loyal customers. A good example of there being many viable paths to a goal.

The timing is not tied to our move off of Rackspace and on to our own hardware, or our move to multiple providers. Noah and JD finally had time to work on making this data public and so we did. The fact that it happened at the end of the year is coincidence.

Re multiple sites, we're working on it.
