This page will be used to provide updates on the scheduled electrical work at 20 Overland Street location and data center scheduled for Friday, May 30, 6:00 PM to Saturday, May 31 6:00 PM. The work will involve replacing the building's electrical transformer by Eversource and CBRE. This requires shutting down the building’s grid power and activating the backup generator to retain power at the data center.

  • Saturday, May 31, 2:30 PM: The data center will remain offline through this evening while the transformer replacement work is completed.
