I got a tour of the Kenmore Datacenter today in the western Suburbs of Brisbane.

I don't think I've been WOW'd so much before in my life. I'll be interested to see if causes a drop in pricing around other Dc's

If you'd like additional information I've got Information Booklets :P If not I can post answers.

Cheers

Welsh

Reckon you can scan and post up the info and booklets?

When I get back into the office I'll transScribe it.
Don't have a scanner that doesn't fail.

Any idea what the ETA on completion to operational is welsh?

I have alot of information, I spent a good hour on Friday with one of the Directors. They're only a few weeks off.

If you want specific info PM me

Good work Welsh - have they done much since me and you went out and had a ganda?

Considering his post is dated the 7th and he said he went out that day, I presume not much has changed in a few short days

Well they have expected the DC to be completed by the 19th, so I thought maybe they are working 7 days a week

By the looks of those pics, I wish them luck in completing in that timeframe

I reckon they'll come close

You might be surprised there is ALOT of people there working on it during the day
Also you can only see so much from my photos I've posted up.

I don't think there going to have any issues getting done this month.

The Air con is in there just finishing the fencing for it.

INSIDE IS NUTS.

What are nuts doing inside a datacentre?

Wait...hang on, I know a few nuts in the industry....I'm one of them!

It will be interesting to see the facility when it is completed and who snaps up some space in there.

Did they give you any indication as to potential pricing?
