There are two types of outages that can occur-message store failures and data center outages. Message store failures occur when the underlying storage subsystem fails due to hardware faults. Data center outages may occur due to a failed update deployment to the subsystem services, power outages due to a power supply failure or backup generators and network connectivity failures.

To mitigate against message store failures, you will need to create a queue with multiple partitions. These partitions are guaranteed to be created on different storage systems within the same data...
