From some press reports, NSA's 1E6 sq. ft. new datacenter in Utah seems to be infected with same. It's zorched hundreds of thou$ands of gear & is a year behind schedule. I guess my phone calls are safe for a few more weeks.

Ain't you glad you were not the low bidder?

I saw that too. It sounded to me like the folks designing it, didn't know what they were up against.:?

Never hire kids to do a man's job, but then it is the government, low bid always wins. Sad. :rant:

The firm that designed the system is based in Bejing China. Does that concern anyone besides me?

The news story I read said KlingStubbins was the designer. A US firm.

Not to defend their inadequacy but the firm does have an office in China, but they are US based headquarters - Lots of big names involved, KlingStubbins is owned by Jacobs, who owns a slew of other companies.

Balfour Beatty bought Parsons Brinckerhoff a few years back, DPR Construction is supposedly one of the largest data center contractors in the country, as far as Big-D? Looking at their website I have a feeling they were thrown a bone to get local representation bid points.

Regardless, the big names should have known better.

No way would the Fort let such near their new palace.
The clearance and oversight on such a job will rival the job itself in price.
