No, what I wonder about is the power surge problem. Any serious business with a 24/7 availability requirement must build critical IT systems with redundans.
That means spreading production systems over more than one datacenter and with different powersources and hooking up to separate powergrids.

If power was indeed the problem, then BA has a MUCH bigger and fundamental IT design problem...offshoring is insignificant in that perspective.
Well put matey
