One interesting detail, the AT&T guy in the voice recording claim that it's the AT&T "Bat Building", why would he say that since it's obviously not?
CORRECTION: He's correct and I am wrong. The Bat building is the "AT&T Command Central" he's mentioning and the red building below it is the "Communications Hub".
Servers require cooling. Hence the cooling towers.
Critical equipment requires back up emergency power in the event of power outage.
Shit sitting on top of that building is in the 3-10 mil range TIC. So, its reliability is worth that much to someone. Generally speaking you don't bother spending that kind of money on stuff unless it just absolutely 100% has to work no matter the scenario.
In the chemical industry the more redundancy you have in a system is a bigger indication of risk.
The ATT hub (one of them) in Colorado is in Centennial close to Fiddlers Green Amphitheater. The building is very non-descript and has no windows located at
6510 S Quebec St, Centennial, CO 80112
There WAS a 5ESS there. It has long since been replaced with Siemens equipment. There is some legacy equipment form the 5E because that handles the E911 trunking as the Siemens switches can not
It's apparently a switching station with data capture and interpretation capabilities these days. And 20 years is a LONG time in IT, but, of course, the lines going to it and coming from it are serving basically the same purpose as 20 years ago... just with added capabilities.
There's undoubtedly storage, but nothing there would likely be unique and would be part of a much larger SAN.
You guys are arguing over semantics. This was a test. It was one lizard person telling another lizard person the plan to overthrow the country is on because they can take down communications in the event that its necessary.
Zero doubt, tons of those are still running, but I think the 3B systems have been upgraded from time to time... but I could also be well out of date :p
Don't be stupid and downplay this. We aren't talking about a garage fool. This is a big building. I go overboard also personally. But not commercially.
This is the exact point i made in another post.
It's been stated in at least four other threads... It's now a vXchnge CoLo, and before that it was Sungard AS. Lotsa servers, lotsa storage.
I'm guessing it's the place where the RV explosion occurred yesterday.
The theory that's floating around is that it was a glowie datacenter that handled all the election day comms and that the bomb was a fixer job.
If that were true, nobody knew about it and they could have simply wiped the servers and erased all the data.
Or maybe they needed to get rid of their surplus explosives for the next budget year.
IS THIS THE NEW "BUILDING 7?"
If that were the case I would expect a much larger bomb. This bomb was weak. Think Oklahoma City bombing.... that’s what I would expect.
How did the bomb fix anything?
Well said!!!!!!!!!
Apparently it's an AT&T Communications Hub.

Here you can see their relation

Is that the one that looks like the Eye of Mordor?

SunGuard will rent space to anyone's hardware, your own or some 'cloud' vendor. Hmmmm....
Vxchange is in the Baker Donelson building.
The explosion was at 185 2nd Avenue in front of the "AT&T Main Central Office" building. It's a phone switch building.
You sure? Granted I was in there when it was still Sungard, and I thought vX took over the space as well when they bought the assets.
100% positive. vXchange / Sungard is located at 211 Commerce St.

This. Twenty years ago 10mbit was enterprise grade.
Heh, twenty years ago I was installing splitters on cat5 hubs to fit more client machines in 😅
Love the name. Points for that alone.
There WAS a 5ESS there. It has long since been replaced with Siemens equipment. There is some legacy equipment form the 5E because that handles the E911 trunking as the Siemens switches can not
That kind of load isn’t a massive data center. Hell, I’ve serviced many small colo clients that used more power than this.
Maybe they're just growing weed.
Dominion also testified that there was no fraud.
A phone exchange is a datacenter now.

20 years have passed. I'm certain a masssive amount of changes have occurred in that building since you were last inside.
Except for site hardening 😂
20 years ago it was owned by bellsouth
I have redundant cooling in a garage with a bunch of junk..it's not exactly unheard of
