Sorry, but one man can’t control power to an entire co-location. I used to work for a local telecom and one day our fiber went down for about 1/3 of our customers. The reason? Some guy shootin’ squirrels blew the fiber lines apart. It was on a Sunday too, when there was minimal phone tech support, I think one guy ended up fielding 350+ calls by himself.
