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.

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. |

My grandad laid their cables across the Pacific for 14 years in the 20s and 30s, if that's any help.
Cable & Wireless, that's a bit like being called Virgin & Whore.

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.
