    Delayed Start to Data Centre Upgrade: (no longer July 7th)

    As previously announced, in preparation for the arrival of Shaheen III, scheduled to be installed in 2023, the four power substations that supply Building 1 Data Centre will be replaced.

    Facility Management is requesting a series of tests to be carried out before the shutdown of the data centre can commence. The tests will result in a 4 week delay to the previously announced schedule. A revised shutdown date will be communicated as soon as it is confirmed.

     

    Shaheen projects extended by 2 months

    Due to the data centre outage this summer, the RCAC has approved an extension of 2 additional months for all projects that have an expiry date beyond 1st July 2022.
