You need to reserve space (a vertical region of space) on the merry-go round at either the north or south rotational poles. In addition to the space reservation, your equipment will need to be able to handle the acceleration to match the turning rate of the earth to reach georotatory statis. I'm told that RAID 5 units are essential in this configuration. To minimize communications delays between these DR/flip resistant sites, you may also want to acquire space in the interpole lumen for your fibre connections. Remember to use heat resistant cable.

I have to interject here, Mogens.
Today's excuse calendar reads:

"magnetic pole flipping flux gradient disturbances"

this is not to be confused with the standard "Solar Flares" excuse (which is a real phenomena when air conditioning units are concerned).

be prepared for the flip, as we'll have to turn all of the hard drives upside down. yes, one could simply invert the entire server, or more correctly, ship the entire server room to the southern hemisphere (if its currently in the north). but that could take months.

Carel Jan, what do you think about having a data guard config in each hemisphere and one at the equator, just in case?
