If aws is up and their DC is down, in what way is that not better?

Sorry for not being clear - I was referring to AWS' not so stellar uptime.

Except for this event. Where pretty much every DC in NY/NJ is compromised, yet no blips in us-east.

Probably because Amazon US-East is in Northern VA, not NY/NJ. http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/globalinfrastructure/

NoVA didn't get hit that hard by Sandy, unlike NY/NJ. So data centers around here didn't tend to have problems, the few that I have equipment in didn't even loose utility power.
