In other industries, such as petroleum refining, pipelines and nuclear power, their are structured methodologies for determining root causes. Some of these take into account equipment failure, and modelling is often done on equipment life cycles to determine replacement and inspection schedules in oil refineries.
These industries also employ strict management of change processes so that an ad-hoc decision or improvisation doesn't cause an incident.
What puzzles me is why you don't see these kind of practices applied in data center operations.
Are data centers really more complex.. then say.. a nuclear plant?
