Steel Orca Inc. is a Pennsylvania
based managed services provider is
planning to file for the bankruptcy since they have failed to transmute the defunct
steel mill on the state border with the New Jersey into a new data centre as
per the reports.
Steel Orca, which is
providing a facility in the Princeton, New Jersey has willingly filed for the
Chapter 7 bankruptcy at the start of the December. This information has been given as per the documents observed by the
Data Centre Knowledge. Filing for the Chapter 7 bankruptcy means that the
complete company’s assets will be transferred
to a trustee before distributing them among the creditors.
In the Steel Orca’s case, New Jersey-based Atkinson &
DeBartolo firm’s Bankruptcy Attorney
Bunce Atkinson has been appointed as the trustee even though the officials had
refused to talk about this.

In spite of the fact that the company was making several
interesting moves in the last year, still the Steel Orca’s bankruptcy has been
faced. Strategic partnership with Avaya Inc. has been proclaimed by the Steel
Orca because they aimed to create the next generation software using the fabric
based SDN architectures as defined by the data centre.
The company was also facing a high demand for the Linux and
Oracle as a service solutions as explained by the Steel Orca’s CTO Larry Hess
during the IBM Edge 2015.
Steel Orca had many big plans for its intended facility in
the Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The old steel mill involved around 300, 000
square feet where the facility would have to be
fueled by numerous local, renewable energy sources through which water
from the Delaware River had been reserved for use in the cooling system.
Initially, the project was delayed prior to being cancelled completely for unexplained reasons. Keystone
NAP LLC, another company, where Data Centre Knowledge has claimed that it had
links with the Steel Orca’s President John Parker is currently creating its own data centre at the steel mill site.
