Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
To illustrate the risk of crashed systems, business continuity provider keepgoing.biz blasted a server with nine different heavy guns. And put it on tape.
Keepgoing.biz claims to provide enterprise-level business continuity and data protection to small and midsize businesses.
According to the keepgoing website, "risks to your data can come from many directions." Hopefully, that doesn't usually include five men armed with shotguns and machine guns.
But that's what the Texas-based company used to illustrate their services.
The company lined up five men in black t-shirts armed with everything from a pump-action shotgun to an Uzi to a .50 caliber machine gun and let them fire away at a server unit.
Unsurprisingly, the server ended the shooting session much the worse for wear. Just to make sure, though, the men blew it up at the end.
The video can be seen here. The claim that the server's owner didn't lose any data was not documented.
