Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: The Grim Reaper on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 13:55:30 Is that where the Virgin Media exchange is at Northstar?
Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 14:08:07 Not sure. I'm about to get lumped with a large project that involves the data centre, and know nothing about it, bar it's big.

Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 18:57:49 Nice place. They turned me down for a job there about a year ago...
Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: The Grim Reaper on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 19:02:14 Will this see any new jobs created?

Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 19:07:51 Will this see any new jobs created? Doubt it. I've got to move a load of our kit from another DC. I'll obviously try to tie up visits with weekday matches, which I would normally say is a bonus, but it might be a poisoned chalice.

Cable & Wireless, that's a bit like being called Virgin & Whore. Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 19:52:34 Been impossible for me to lay a cable after all that beer and a manky sausage roll last night..
Title: Re: Cable and Wireless Post by: jonny72 on Wednesday, February 9, 2011, 20:24:41 As per the above it's the old Galileo data centre on Windmill Hill, you can't miss it - the massive building that looks like a data centre. Not sure if C&W have changed it since they took it on but it was pretty much pure computer room on both floors bar the offices around half the outside. The smaller building right next to it was a power plant which I believe could power the data centre for a week or two in the event of a power cut.
