We have had the generator delivered at the exact same time we had gas cylinders delivered and a bit later on, half of our racks were delivered. We have had a lot of progess with our fibre connectivity, we should have that live very shortly. We have had people splicing today with the fibre. We also had the office people in today who continued their work on the development of the office partitions upstairs, they haven’t been able to access the site recently due to weather restrictions. Today, we had one of our newly delivered network cameras configured which you can see below along with plenty of other pictures from todays events.

As you can see they are pretty well re-inforced. We have had a lot of electricians in working with the switch board and the power distribution unit. They’re currently glanding from the main board around the datacenter. We had an arrival of our wireless access points, we were the last delivery of the day! More deliverys today, quite importantly the generator will be arriving, the picture below shows the spot waiting for it.
