[AusNOG] Melbourne Primus/Vocus datacenter at 55 King closing

[adam brzovic]

Hi All

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks
