Use submit form for hosting news!| Alabanza Comments on Building Fire Sep 19, 2003 | Web hosting automation firm Alabanza (alabanza.com) confirmed yesterday that the building in which it is located in Baltimore experienced a fire in its power switching equipment shortly before 7pm on Wednesday.
The city's fire department then mandated that all main and auxiliary power be closed down, taking clients offline. The company said it immediately activated its disaster recovery plan, which the company had been tweaking in preparation for Hurricane Isabel. The company also said technical staff ensured client servers were shut down properly despite the risk of smoke inhalation.
"I chose the location for Alabanza for two reasons: power and bandwidth. Alabanza literally sits on top of a major central point of bandwidth for the east coast," said Tom Cunningham, CEO of Alabanza. "The power is on a redundant grid with three power stations feeding into it. Everything between the power generation and the building is underground so there is no fear of losing power due to high winds. The grid has not failed for over 20 years, and it didn't fail last night... internal power switching did."
Alabanza provides Web hosting automation services for 400 customers in 54 countries. | Reads: 959 | Category: General | Source: TheWHIR : Web Host Industry Reviews
