Hi Ray.

3rd floor. The generator and batteries are on the 1st floor, but they are all
mounted a few feet up. The first floor is about 8 feet or so above the street
level.

I still have some rack space if anyone is interested. Seriously.

What floor? Does the cat 5 rating keep the water out? The building that
houses our data center has been here since 1938 and is made of solid
concrete (*really* helps the wireless signals...). Between building
elevation and raised floor, it's a good 3-4 feet from ground level. Would
take a massive flood here in Hammond to get that much water...

With the approaching storm, i'm just curious, how many of ya'lls companies
have a disaster recovery/contigency plan in place should your main data
communications site or equipment become incapacitated?
