VISI installed a new 2.25MW generator this weekend.  The generator will more than double the capacity of our St. Paul Data Center.  I had the opportunity to watch as a massive crane lifted the generator over the downtown skyway and lowered it into the sub-basement of the 180 East 5th Street building in Downtown St. Paul.  The generator weighs over 38,000 lbs and runs on diesel fuel.

After the success of our March webinar series, we have decided to host monthly webinars, typically on the first Wednesday of every month. In July, we are pushing it back a week so you can enjoy the July 4th week.

If you have any topics that you’d like VISI to host a webinar on, leave a comment and let us know.
