Re: LA power outage?

OneWilshire did lose power but their generators did their
job just fine. Getting up to any data center space there
was impossible on the other hand. They have enough
current to run the entire building, just not the elevators,
the lights in the stairwells, or the key-card locks on the
data center doors (or so management told the bunch of us
who were waiting outside).

Still, none of our circuits lost power, which is better
off than half of L.A. was.

We've been told by our field tech in LA that One Wilshire had lost power
for a bit, but it is now restored.  I don't know the duration of the
outage, but our equipment there is on DC and did not go down.
So - who in LA is going to be telling Santa they want a new data-center sized
diesel UPS genset for Christmas? ;)
