Location
The data center is located in San Antonio, Texas. It is an ideal location for the data center because of the absence of natural disasters. San Antonio is on the most seismically stable soil in the US. In fact, San Antonio is one of only two places in the US that Lloyd's of London will underwrite for earthquake insurance. Additionally, the absence of hurricanes and tornadoes make the data center the perfect location for your mission-critical data.


One sec. They just said, It is an ideal location for the data center because of the absence of natural disasters. San Antonio is on the most seismically stable soil in the US.

So why do Lloyd's of London give EARTHQUAKE insurance to a place that has an absence of natural disasters ?

What a pile of elephant sh*t.

Well it doesn't mean anything - it can be either plenty of earthquakes or none at all. Lloyd's, being first insuarance company in the world, will insure anything and everything. Hell, you can say that you favourite team will win on july 4 2007 and lloyds *will* take your bet. Or you can go there and say that harry poter will beat 10 million record and they will insure you that it won'.t Of course, given that harry already sold over 4 million in couple days, you premium will be sky high (may be million usd?), but they will insure you.
