The Houston facilities had quite a few problems due to the EV1 startup not really having the organization a company of its rate of growth would need. They didn't acquire the best equipment money could buy. It seemed more like they would spend as little as possible on everything from network equipment and it's configuration to its employees.

Doug is pretty charismatic, and likes to seed big thoughts into the minds of those around him, but all in all - it's about the bottom line with him. Quantity over quality.
This event really doesn't surprise anyone.

Since partnering with The Planet, the bar was raised. Legacy EV1 equipment will eventually be decommissioned and new top notch equipment installed as well as a more professional configuration of the network schema.

I'm sure since this little issue, there will be more pro-active monitoring measures taken in the power rooms at each facility, other than just temperature readings being taken from the CRAC units.
