60 Hudson doesn't have a house generator, and has been without utility power since yesterday. Some tenants (like Tel-x) have their own generation capabilities, some (like Keyspan) don't -- prohibiting factors being some combination of pigheaded laws, lack of space, economic constraints, and noise-sensitive neighbors and community groups. Nobody ever said locating a carrier hotel in TriBeCa was the smartest idea. [1] ;) On a related note, 25 Broadway (TELEHOUSE "Broadway Center") has been on generator power since around 4.15PM EST yesterday, and hasn't reported any customer-impacting outages. NYIIX took a slight dive: http://www.nyiix.net/mrtg/sum/sum.html ...presumably because folk backhaul their traffic (and in some cases, layer 2!) to outside facilities without power. -a [1] <http://www.downtownexpress.com/DE_11/tribecadieseldispute.html>, <http://www.tribecatrib.com/newsjuly03/fuel_storage.htm>

To clarify, the TELEHOUSE facility inside 25 Broadway is in generator power. Other building tenants, such as Deloitte Touche and Neve Yerushalyim, are still without power. Last I heard, 111 8th Avenue (and nearby facilities, including Chelsea Markets and the Level(3) "Mondo Condo" on 10th Avenue?) is also without utility power, but doing ok on generator for the most part. MFN sent this out: "As a result of the major power outage in New York and other cities, our generator system at LGA1 (NY1) is experiencing heating issues. Critical loads are currently running on UPS systems alone. We are working aggressively to get the generator system repaired, and believe we will be able to do before the UPS systems loose their capacity. We do have several hours with which to work, and do not believe that this situation will become customer affecting, however it does have the potential to become customer affecting." I'm not sure how accurate the "several hours" figure is. Presumably they have a large battery plant, or a lot of empty racks... -a
