It's the semi-moribund datacenter ops list! Nothing's happening in datacenters anymore, eh? Damn AWS. :-)
To remind everyone this list (which isn't mine) is here, let me toss four URLs over the transom, for the benefit of those who haven't run across them. If you run a datacenter, you should probably keep an eye on: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/ and http://www.telecomramblings.com/ Both are industry blogs which take different approaches to the space; the former is about the stuff inside the walls, and the latter more about how you connect them to the people who matter. === For keeping track of when those links and services break, check out the Outages mailing list and wiki: http://wiki.outages.org We have a pretty decent collection of system status pages, along with links to fiber and undersea cable maps, and other useful resources, and our mailing lists, and contributions are always cheerfully accepted. === If you are in one, and wondering what you need in your Emergency Box, you might find some interesting ideas in this Whacky Weekend thread of mine from last April on NANOG: http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2012-February/045491.html === And if you're *looking* for a datacenter, let me recommend James and Errin and the crew at E-Solutions Tampa; I was in there in late 2011, and found them all quite knowledgeable and easy to work with; my thanks to the NANOG commenters who suggested them. They're in 400 N Tampa, TAMQFLXA, which is the Telco Hotel for this area; all the best carriers are in the building, most of them in ESol's meetme cage on 7. :-) http://www.esnet.com Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
