Or, lets say, an automatic network monitor (ALA SNMP) that tells them when UPS power is about to run down (before the lights go out) so they can roll their generator into place.

Getting MFS to pay attention to the Heat Levels at their Colo facilities is another issue. In the not-so-distant past, we reported critical heat levels at 55 Market, SJ. After having our ticket closed out on us, and calling back several times, MFS finally sent someone over to have a look. According to the information I got back, two of their Air Conditioning units failed, which took them over a day to fix. This kinda thing does wonders to our MTBFs :( ... Ironically, our temperature device is now broken in our Cisco. Has anyone else had similar problems with them? We now have a number of 7000 series routers which report off-the-wall readings. -Golan

MFS is in the proccess of installing new cooling units on the roof. They take up aprox. 1000sqft. So they are at least working on it. You should have seen the air lift :) James McKenzie mcs@innetix.com Innetix, Inc. (408) 993-9477 http://www.innetix.com

Any idea what the capacity of the additional equipment?
Thanks.
