Massive Power Outage in San Francisco, CA Doesn't Affect Hosting.com's Downtown Data Center
Market Wire, July, 2007
Hosting.com management is pleased to report that the widespread power outage affecting the San Francisco area yesterday afternoon, July 24th, did not impact the Hosting.com San Francisco data center located at 630 Third Street. Hosting.com's facility remained fully operational and online throughout the duration of this event as generators kicked on at 1:40 pm PDT, the same instance the power outage began. Early estimates by PG&E put 30,000 - 50,000 customers without power during this event, many of which were businesses whose operations are completely dependent on power, such as PG&E itself and area data center providers in the downtown San Francisco area.
"While it's unfortunate that the downtown San Francisco area was hit with a massive power outage, we couldn't be more pleased with the way our facility withstood the test. As a result of our redundant infrastructure and thorough testing and maintenance of that infrastructure by seasoned data center experts, we are happy to report that not a single Hosting.com San Francisco colo client within the data center was affected," remarked Darren King, Hosting.com President & CEO.
Hosting.com management plans to fully analyze and evaluate this event and all published reports over the next few days to further prepare for and take any additional steps necessary to ensure that all clients continue to remain unaffected by future power outages. Management believes the recent instability of the power grid in San Francisco will have no impact on the construction plans currently underway that will double the size of Hosting.com's San Francisco facility and provide its clients with collocation suites up to 3,000 sq. ft. to house their mission critical infrastructure.
