10th floor test

The 10th floor test , is a term first used by Steve Traugott from www.infrastructures.org It refers to the ability to take a random machine in your infrastructure , drop it from the 10th floor, and be able to restore your infrastructure to working within 5-10 minutes.

I initially toughtt it was Thomas Lange who invented the term (as told to me on #fai) but it seems he got it from Steve.

I tried to add this as a Wikipedia entry, but people are voting for deletion beacuse "Zero relevant google hits (highly unlikely for a true IT-related term)" and "Neologism"
Well, maybe 10 years from now ...
