Replacing a power system destroyed last June at UW-Madison — which darkened the university’s website and disabled nearly all electronic communication for a day — cost $360,000, said a spokesman with the school’s Division of Information Technology, or DoIT. Spokesman Brian Rust said it’s still unknown who will be on the hook to replace the uninterruptible power supply, a roomful of batteries that power a data center on Dayton Street. “The ‘who pays’ question is still in negotiation with the insurance company,” Rust said. John Krogman, who directs DoIT, told the State Journal last September that he was “cautiously optimistic” the insurer would pay.
