Bank vault data centre tests Server 2008
Banks may be closing branches to the disgust of many customers, but for one local IT services company, a disused bank vault became the ideal secure site for a new data centre to enter the hosting market. Networking-Plus, based in Brisbane, moved into the building of an old Commonwealth Bank branch that had a large vault which was converted into a modern data centre with overhead cabling and fully-redundant air-conditioning. Infrastructure manager Robert Warren told Computerworld the company has recently branched out into hosting when the new data centre went live in July last year. "It's certainly secure as the door takes two people to move," Warren said, adding the power service is also top-notch as the building shares the same grid as an adjacent hospital. The vault data centre houses about 35 servers, most running Windows Server 2003 and some running Red Hat Linux, with capacity for hundreds more.

The congresswoman's mother and political adviser, Una Clarke, said, “I would just want to say to him, some of those who stayed on the plantation were much more loyal to the liberation of our people than those who came off and were confused. Some were dragged off the plantation, and when they got off, they didn't know what to do. Then you have those who stayed on the plantation and were more strategic in helping those who got off." Helen Diane Foster, a councilwoman from the Bronx, predicted the Harlem establishment would suffer a reduction in clout in the event of a strong showing by Mr. Obama. “Clearly, it can't carry that much weight when you have the three [Messrs. Rangel, Dinkins and Paterson] doing the endorsement, you have Calvin Butts doing the endorsement, and these are pillars in Harlem," she said.
