Corus Data Centre

Radio News from Ontario

Interrupted my week off with an IBM half-day seminar on Data Centre design issues this morning. The warmup act was 5-10 minutes of video pans of the construction of an unnamed Toronto Data Centre. The customer is so happy with the results that they are trying to hire the Project Manager away from IBM.

Near the end there was a shot of the display panel on a power or air conditioning device that included "Corus". I asked my organization's Data Centre Manager, who was sitting beside me, if he thought this was Shaw's Corus subsidiary, and he doubted it, "probably just a small power or a/c company; there are hundreds of companies just in Canada selling Data Centre equipment".

Well, at the end of it, IBM admitted it was Corus Entertainment.

I was also thinking today about all the companies that started in Edmonton, but are now somewhere else, i.e. - haved moved their head office. Corus brought that to mind, since Shaw started in Edmonton as a cable company for half the city.
