Datacenters are very low key places. They're all around you and your not aware. Owners go through great lengths to keep them hush-hush and control access. It's not something some rando would know the location of.
Also, the "evacuation beacon" required some engineering to be installed on a RV (?) In my opinion, that was an industrial grade annunciator, that would be used at something like an oil refinery to notify workers if there was a toxic / explosive gas leak.
You know what that announcement reminded me of? The Game silent hill, where the tornado siren would go off, that was definitely industrial grade, and odd, why warn people to evacuate?
The old AMEX black box data center had a fake ground level floor that was designed to collapse into the underground garage in case something like a truck was driven through the lobby. Another data center I worked in for a Fortune 50 company was underground. Every major data center I've worked in could run for at least a month on backups. All of them are redundant with data replicated cross country at a minimum. Major corporations have massive investments in protecting their data. Isolation is all that would happen, unless the damage was done internally. Data centers are designed to operate in isolation for a period of time and it would require at least two data centers to be struck simultaneously to isolate the data in the first place. There are companies that run them in triplicate and replicate their data overseas. I find it hard to believe it would do anything meaningful to damage a single one, or even take down the power grid, unless it's government run...they suck.
If this location is where the federal wire taps go from Georgia then it explains it. Now it will be much harder to watch the Georgia runoff election steal happen.
Yeah that's the claims I've seen today. I can't verify it, but that building certainly looked like one.
the speaker was probably hiding some other noise such as a jackhammer.
It seemed like many people were aware of the AT&T building before it was reported or any outages, but your point about the loudspeaker is crucial. Thank you for the post!
I strongly agree with you and have heard a similar broadcast that WE were testing at a government facility that i WILL NOT disclose as i enjoy being alive.
Yeah, if I were the feds, I'd look into receipts on industrial evacuation annunciators..
I'm sure it's a very small market with only a few points of contact nationwide.
This shit looks professional, not like it was thrown together by some political nutjob or islamo-facist.
Spot a data center. Look for huge, over sized cooling units for the size building. Typically windowless. The cooling units look like they'd cool an entire apartment complex.
