Unless there’s a replacement planned (particularly one planned to open before 
the existing one closes), I’m not sure whether it really matters whether there 
was an external or internal motivation for the change, the end result is much 
the same.

Hi All,

There is no grand conspiracy here. 55 King is being knocked down by the 
building owner for a bigger tower, 59 Doody has a road planned to go through it.

Certainly we could do better with notifications and I'm sure your account 
managers would love to hear feedback on how we can improve.

Cheers,
Damien.

Our account manager just advised (after we had to ask first) that the 59 Doody 
St NSW DC is closing November 2022 as well, so looks like they’re exiting the 
business entirely.

Subject: [AusNOG] Melbourne Primus/Vocus datacenter at 55 King closing


Hi All

I have just found an email lost in my spam folder than the Melbourne Primus 
datacenter at 55 King Street operated by Vocus is closing down in 4 months on 
the 1st of August 2021.

I know this is an old datacentre but every time I visit its full of servers and 
has been very stable since they had power issues 10 years ago so I do not 
understand why its closing down and now the headache of finding a new provider 
and moving our servers with only four months notice.

I have had no contact from our account manager, no phone call from anyone which 
is disappointing and no option provided by Vocus to move our servers to a new 
location.

Surely if you are actually going to close down a datacenter you would offer to 
move your customers to a new location free of charge and how about all the 
network and fiber providers in this location what will happen to them.

Has anyone else received notification that the Primus 55 King Street datacenter 
is closing down or are they just trying to get rid small customers.

Thanks
