<p>Hi All<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have just found an email lost in my spam folder than the Melbourne Primus datacenter at 55 King Street operated by Vocus is closing down in 4 months on the 1st of August 2021.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I know this is an old datacentre but every time I visit its full of servers and has been very stable since they had power issues 10 years ago so I do not understand why its closing down and now the headache of finding a new provider and moving our servers
with only four months notice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have had no contact from our account manager, no phone call from anyone which is disappointing and no option provided by Vocus to move our servers to a new location.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Surely if you are actually going to close down a datacenter you would offer to move your customers to a new location free of charge and how about all the network and fiber providers in this location what will happen to them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Has anyone else received notification that the Primus 55 King Street datacenter is closing down or are they just trying to get rid small customers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
