He said staff had originally thought the power outage was due to a faulty piece of Central San's network equipment, but has since learned that the outage was caused by a failure in a vendor's (Nimble) storage equipment. The underlying trigger for the event, however, appears to have been a faulty Cisco core network switch in Central San's data center. The outside vendor, Nimble, was able to replicate the issue in their lab and they have already replaced the faulty equipment under the maintenance contract at no cost. President Causey said this event demonstrated the importance of inter- agency collaboration. He also expressed appreciation to the 1T staff for their efforts and asked that they be invited to a future meeting so they can be thanked publicly.
