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

[Nick Evendor]

We were also notified and have been talking with Micron21 to relocate some services for us. They have a DC Rescue deal for anyone in 55 King street offering 6 months free services which is fantastic. https://www.micron21.com/dc-rescue

We’ve been notified and are working with Vocus to be migrated to either NextDC or Equinix.

Haven't seen any notice, but I'm sure as hell going to be hitting my account rep up on Monday, because I'm pretty sure I've got at least half a dozen services that run through there in one way or another.

Thanks for posting.

I guess Vocus is more concerned about so showing off for their new owners (or potential owners if the deal isn't done yet) than bothering with customer service anymore.

Hi All

I have just found an email lost in my spam folder than the Melbourne Primus datacenter at 55 King<https://www.google.com/maps/search/55+King?entry=gmail&source=g> 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
