What a crock. Systems are taken offline for reasons like this routinely,
and any competant IT crew can do it in their sleep. If systems cannot
tolerate these outages, then they must be equipped with alternate power
sources, and if they are not, then the people who administer them are not
doing their jobs.
Like everything else you post, a bunch of hyped and misleading bull****.
