Question The building where York International was in Basildon

[KrustyTheKray]

Anyone know what it is, or who it belongs to?

Seems very highly protected, double fence, security vehicle ramps, cameras, and the building is unmarked.

It's unmarked as well???

It's Wiggy's secure accomodation.

They'll have to shut Guantanemo some time.

DR site? Do tell.

DR site? Do tell.

Presumably if their systems go down, they would fail over to this site.

DR stands for Disaster Recovery. Many companies have a DR plan and have yearly tests to prove that in a DR situation, they would be operational for Day One work within a very short period of time. We have 2 data centres where I work and with mirrored servers. Once a year we fail over each site top make sure that we can be fully operational from the other site.

Partially correct (unless I am thinking of the wrong building ) . It is a DR site but it has nothing to do with the government . Its main purpose is a data centre for NYSE LIFFE, but it also acts as a DR sit for the London offices . I know this as I work ICE Futures who now own LIFFE. I went on a tour earlier this year and it is very very impressive.

Do they issue staff with stab vests if they have to go out for lunch?
