LIAR CLUSTERS? 
What the media today are still not telling us in full - for some reason the lid is being kept on the whole story:
HERE IN THE UK: THE UK SUB-PRIME CATASTROPHE - IT IS NOT ONLY IN AMERICA!! THE UK LIAR LOAN INDUSTRY - Source of FICTITIOUS "MONEY", and the principle driver of the House "Price" Pyramid/Ponzi Scam & Bubble, the "Credit Crunch" - and an unacknowledged major part of and cause of the ensuing Worldwide Financial Crash.
---------------------
The following was reported in a superb documentary in late 2003 - This is now nearly 10 years ago!! Since then little has been done here in the UK to dig down deep on this vast elephant in the room: Why? If you're a serious journalist - here's your story - start investigating - it is the biggest financial scandal of all time:
THE ARTICLES BELOW ARE FROM AS FAR BACK AS 2003!!
Mortgage customers 'urged to lie' - All this was way back in 2003 by the way!!
Housebuyers are being encouraged to break the law in order to obtain huge mortgages, the BBC has discovered. Brokers, and even banking staff, have been telling buyers to lie about their incomes to get bigger and bigger loans. And these underhand tactics could also be the reason why house prices have gone on rising for so long.

"Could you believe that a bank would invite customers to defraud it? It may sound incredible, but that is what some of Britain's biggest mortgage lenders have in effect been doing."

The BBC Money Programme uncovers massive mortgage fraud [2003!]: BBC TWO's The Money Programme has revealed a huge mortgage fraud with brokers from some of Britain's biggest estate agents and financial advice groups advising customers to break the law and lie about their incomes to get massively bigger mortgages. And it shows how the illicit cash raised by this method has been pouring into the housing market, boosting prices and leaving many people risking financial ruin.

You know I've tried cloud hosting (tried a few third party services) but found a good old fashioned single dedicated server still gives better uptimes, especially using services like K-Splice which will update the running operating system kernel without the need for reboots. They are just less technologically complex than having to mount remote file systems, storage arrays and so on. Then again I wouldn't claim any of my sites are half as busy as this one.
One feels for the Fubra Tech guys, not only will they have to give an account to management (which with any luck will be more technologically knowledgable than the guys I used to have to report to) but these things only seem to go wrong at the weekend.
Not entirely sure what a Vcluster is, I assume it refers to a Virtual Cluster, perhaps booting Virtual Machines, using a Xen like Hypervisor over a remote (NFS) storage system. If you are non techie, that still won't mean anything!
What I don't quite understand is how the managed to loose a whole lot, including DNS which is very bad. They should still be able to resolve to something, even if its just a temporary static "Ooops!" page.

With Fa Fai, that makes three of us on this site with Darling Wives from the Land of the Rising Sun. Given what's happened to house prices in Japan, are they the least likely to put darling hubby under pressure to jump in to the housing market?
2012 Predictions - made January 1st 2012
- Inflation to drop sharply and to a level that makes pay rises and savings account rates seem half decent
- BTL to be revealed as the next financial disaster in the making as potential tenants buy lower priced houses
- Progress to be made toward the market bottoming out from 2015, so more falls but not as seen in 08-09

One of the main points for using virtual servers is to stop these things happening.

Virtual Servers won't stop that happening (unless you can migrate them, pretty damn quick). Cloud hosting should.
FubraNOC's postings suggest only a single box as the Network File Server.

Ah I see. I am no techie so be gentle on me !! However I did work on a virtual server project so I have a little knowledge.
A virtual server set up with no back up virtual server to switch over to almost instantly sort of takes away a lot of the benefits of the system. You will still get more effiecient usage of the server - however you won't get any of the back up improvements that are a major part of selling this stuff.
I think - if my memory serves me correctly.

FUBARnoc should be using a highly available storage server / SAN really, otherwise they have created a massive single point of failure for everything in their vcluster.
SAN backed "cloud" style services are very prone to this kind of failure.
