Weathering Ike in a Datacenter in Webhosting http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21104247 en Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:23:47 EDT Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:23:47 EDT Re: Weathering Ike in a Datacenter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21139385 jazzman916 :

H1 Phase 1 is back on utility power, and Phase 2 remains on generator power. The phases receive different utility power feeds, and the grid that feeds Phase 2 has not been restored by the power company's response/repair team. We have an ample fuel supply to continue powering Phase 2 by generator as long as it is necessary. Along with millions of other Houston-area residents and businesses, we don't have any official confirmation about when the power company will be working to restore that grid.

When Phase 2's utility power is restored, we will test it, transfer power from generator to utility power and provide an update.
Half 'n' Half ;)

H1 and H2 are still running on generator power. Our fuel levels have been replenished by our suppliers, and we will continue to operate on generator power until utility power is fully restored and extensively tested. I'm not aware of an ETA on the utility power repair, so I'll let you know as soon as I hear any official updates.

Yikes. At least they are up and running and fuel suppliers are meeting the need.

According to him, the extent of their hurricane preparation was to buy a lot of liquor and bring a barbecue so that they can prepare food.

They must be doing something right since my servers in that datacenter didn't drop a single ping.

Hm, weird. I had always been told that the Bayou Place (Houston) location was not a datacenter and was actually just used for callcenter and admins, administering the Dallas data center.
It's their HQ. I too haven't heard that they are actually using it as a datacenter, per se. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21108879 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:37:38 EDT Re: Weathering Ike in a Datacenter http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21107811 AmeritecTech : Hm, weird.
