Now this is going to be interesting.  Aaron over at StealthPuppy.com posted this little gem:

Those zany guys and girls over at PIPE Networks are building a data centre, just down the road in Fortitude Valley, in 60 days and blogging about it.

An empty room,
a signed lease,
a crazy deadline
and the dream to build Brisbane's newest data Centre...

Get excited - we've thrown down the gauntlet, set out the challenge, to complete PIPE Networks’ DC3 in 60 days starting from scratch and building from the ground up.

Stay tuned to this space to watch the creation of this world class facility and get an insight into this exciting project. Our blog will be updated daily with the achievements and milestones of DC3.

Set to be on-line next week, our trusty BB web cam is being installed to watch the every move of our suppliers, workers, PIPE technicians and perhaps the odd cleaner, keeping you up to the moment with photos from the project!


Area: 450 sqm
Planned Capacity: 170 racks (1100mm)
Air Conditioning: Hot Isle/Cold Isle cooling system
Power Supply: 800 watts p/sqm with a+b power,feed by a dedicted substation supplying 3000kva of power

The facility's resilience will be underpinned by a N+1 standard cooling and power system ensuring a superior operating environment, and once complete will be monitored by the PIPE Networks NOC support team 24x7.
