[IRP] [governance] 8.9 earthquake in Japan

Fri Mar 11 14:30:50 EET 2011

Dear all,

Right now I am here in Tokyo. At 2.46 I was in one NewITventure Data center
and monitoring IPTV system. I was alone in side the data center and running
from there is almost impossible. Because the rack of the server were moving
in such way that I do not know how to run. After 5 minutes situation came to
normal. I check all the connection but working well. Thanks good and thanks
to the infrastructure providers.  Still we are feeling small hits (up to
4.0). Internet, gas, electricity, water and telephone is normal in most part
of Japan. But it is sad that Japan's eastern coast was badly damaged. We are
prying for the people their families living there.

with best regards
Rajendra
