Something took on Internet access in the area. They have power, no Internet.

Looks like it will be down awhile too. When I called in to open a ticket there was a 45 minute wait time.
-
Just came back up.

Someone forget to feed the hampster again?

They need to upgraid from a single hamster to a RAIHAM 10... Redundant Array of Inexpensive Hamsters 10.

Is that two wheels with two hamsters each?

They only have about a 2 year life span so they need to be hot swappable.

@coliver 5 wheels with two hamsters each. :-D

Is there one wheel with two hamsters walking on the wheel as a warm spare?

Nah. They just shout encouragements at one another to keep them moving. Drop some cheese in front of the wheel to ensure maximum power.

Ah that's smart why waste the cheese on hamsters not working at full speed.

Because they last longer that way, ha ha ha.

Right, everyone know hamsters wear out most often when they are starting up. The wheels fail most often when they spin up and down constantly.
-
@coliver Exactly! Turn them off and leave them running 24/7.
If one passes out from malnutrition, the warm spares can take over while the injured one rests and gets ready to take the place of the next one who passes out. But remember, if you lose both on the same wheel, you're going to suffer from power brownouts.
-
Sometimes loose parts get caught during the spinning and causes catastrophic failure.

This is called a System Crash. You hear that noise? Yeah... we'd better go check that out.

Supposing that NTG's internet is powered by 1HAMP (1 hamster power), what would you need to run it 24x7 with any degree of reliability?
To begin, some definitions:
RAIHAM 1 - Two wheels, with a hamster each.
RAIHAM 0 - Single wheel, two hamsters
RAIHAM 10 - Two wheels, two hamsters eachGiven the below data sets, we see hamsters run an average of 4 hours per day
http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/114305/analysis-of-hamster-wheel-rotational-dataAs hamsters are nocturnal and primarily active at night, you will need to have at least 6 RAIHAM's setup on separate light/dark schedules.
Assumptions:
- Hamsters are fed and cared for
- Hamsters will run together on the wheel
NTG's hamsternet will require 12 RAIHAM 10's setup into 6 banks of 4 hour offset groups to achieve even close to 99% uptime.
NTG's hamsternet will house 48 hamsters, who will run on average 192 miles every 24 hours.

Well then... I'd say you need to get a hobby but it looks like you already got one.

I There was an error in the RAHAM controller on that one... Too many hamsters on the platter.

Ah, @MattSpeller for forgot to account for a three-phase connection in his formula. I think he only accounted for normal 120v single phase/240v split phase.

Is there any adjustment for fancy hamsters compared to normal ones?

The fancy ones require a cleaning process for their food. Which requires another hamster to run.

Got to love dependencies...
-
Hamster Loadable Modules.
-
You can download a new HPM "Hamster Package Manager" and install new packages that way. It handles the dependencies automagically. Commands look like this...
hpm --install wheel_x64
-
But a lot of users these days will opt for a GUI that handles all of the complexities of the HPM command for you. The popular one is called Hamper.
-
Sorry, can't say that Gooey is one I want to get my hands on. Especially that Hamper. I hear it can be full of,.... ah... bad code.
-
Better than working directly with a hamster back end.
