[u2web]

Appears that Alabanza's data center in Baltimore is down since about 7:10pm EST, 9-17-03. Their web site is down, my reseller site is down, all my client's are down.

Not one to panic, but it's been over an hour!

Thanks for any information.

must be something serious

hope it is fixed soon

Alabanza? You use this company? They still around? You better run and do it now!

There was a small fire on the 3rd floor of the NOC and the FD wanted to shut everything down to be sure. I hear things should be back up shortly. No servers were affected. Fire was not in alabanza's space

[Sirealtor]

how did you find that out?

[gromit]

Why do you say that?

[Sirealtor]

just ignore him, and he will go away

[gromit]

I found out from sources inside the belly of the beast itself. Only thing I know so far is that there was some type of fire - described to me as "small". I asked about ups's, redundancies and all that and was only told that the FD wanted to make sure all electricity was off in the building and im sure that would affect all the incoming lines anyway which the ups's are not really designed to handle.

10 years in the industry counts for something.

[gromit]

true - but cant we all say that? Im just wondering what your reasons are for saying what you do. Perhaps your 100% on the mark but im interested not only in the opinion but the reasoned opinion.

[Sirealtor]

since 1998 + 10 years = 2008 so are you early a few years?

[u2web]

Thanks for the update ... sounds like NAC!

[centrahost]

I dont know much about real estate either.
