Short Take: Second MAE-West power outage

Internet traffic has suffered another slowdown in the second MAE-West power outage in less than a week. A circuit breaker was tripped at the San Jose, California, facility, shutting down one of three Gigaswitches for 49 minutes, according to WorldCom, which is under government contract to run MAE-West. Last week, WorldCom attributed a three-hour power failure of a Gigaswitch to a construction accident.
