Well, the fact still remains that operating a datacenter smack-dab in the center of some of the most inflated real estate in recent history is quite a castly endeavor.
yes. (speaking for both 365 main, and 529 bryant.)
I really wouldn't be all that surprised if 365 Main cut some corners here and there behind the scenes to save costs while saving face.
no expense was spared in the conversion of this tank turret factory into a modern data center. if there was a dark start option, MFN ordered it. (but if it required maintainance, MFN's bankruptcy interrupted that, but the current owner has never been bankrupt.)
As it is, they don't have remotely enough power to fill that facility to capacity, and they've suffered some pretty nasty outages in the recent past. I'm strongly considering the possibility of completely moving out of there.
2mW/floor seemed like a lot at the time. ~6kW/rack wasn't contemplated. (is it time to build out the land adjacent to 200 paul, then?) -- Paul Vixie
