Apologies. Mike had confirmed it with three other sources, after my initial tweet. There were apparently ‘security barriers’ and it’s not clear yet what those were.


As long as they got 15mins worth of internet fame, a lame retraction is well worth it.


In what scenario would a large datacenter have individual cages?


Cages are not just for segmenting customers but also to segment levels of security. You can have a datacenter which is accessible to your typical tech responsible for rack/stack drive change operations while maintaining an area with high impact devices which can only be accessed with an elevated credential set.


Excuse my BGP ignorance, but wouldn’t every FB datacenter require physical access to reset router configs not just one cage?


You only need to get one back up and routing to the door badge databases.
