BDR Put To The Test As $800k In Product Waits For Delivery

It’s a sunny Saturday morning in Orange County, California when the help line rings at Numa Networks. A new customer is calling in a panic. The customer is a major beverage distributor, with 61 trucks fully loaded for weekend deliveries all over the county.

But the trucks can’t leave until the drivers get their routes. Unfortunately, the customer’s SQL server has just suffered a data corruption. The fleet manager can’t access and print the drivers’ routes. Meanwhile, the temperature is rising.

Awaiting delivery are 42,000 cases, plus 750 barrels, of alcoholic beverages. If the loads are exposed to temperatures above 70 degrees, the flavor will be ruined. The customer could lose $800,000 worth of product—not to mention the late delivery fees and overtime costs they’d have to pay—if the trucks are delayed.
