Real world Examplehttp://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”
