Power Outages from Tropical Storm Beryl Disrupt Services for Houston-Area Clients
Lumen Technologies Inc. has reported that power outages following the recent hurricane are causing partial service interruptions for its clients in the Houston area.
Backup Generators in Use Amidst Widespread Outages
The internet service provider's Houston data center is currently operating on backup generators due to "widespread commercial power failures resulting from Tropical Storm Beryl," according to a statement from a company spokesperson. These outages are affecting various companies within the region, including Lumen itself. To mitigate the impact, Lumen is maintaining partial services through the use of generators and is coordinating with the local power company to resolve the issue.
Greenspoint Data Center Operating on Backup
Lumen maintains a significant presence in Houston with a 51,300-square-foot data center located in the Greenspoint neighborhood. This facility, like others in the sector, is relying on emergency power solutions to sustain its operations amid the ongoing commercial power failures.
