6. Real world Example
http://www.zdnet.com/article/delta-system-
outage-heres-what-went-wrong/
“While power was stabilized and restored quickly, after the
malfunction "critical systems and network equipment didn't switch
over to backups. Other systems did," said Delta COO Gil West.
The systems that failed to switch over suffered from "instability",
he continued, affecting the performance of a customer service
system used to process check-ins, conduct boarding, and
dispatch aircraft”
