OneWilshire did lose power but their generators did their job just fine. Getting up to any data center space there was impossible on the other hand. They have enough current to run the entire building, just not the elevators, the lights in the stairwells, or the key-card locks on the data center doors (or so management told the bunch of us who were waiting outside). Still, none of our circuits lost power, which is better off than half of L.A. was.

We've been told by our field tech in LA that One Wilshire had lost power for a bit, but it is now restored. I don't know the duration of the outage, but our equipment there is on DC and did not go down.
So - who in LA is going to be telling Santa they want a new data-center sized diesel UPS genset for Christmas? ;)
