Granted, it's a very small data center - about twenty servers, plus assorted routers, switches and other paraphenalia.
The SFI (Small Financial Institution) that I work for decided about a year ago to plan ahead for the next ten years, and build a brandy-new Administration building to serve our five current branches.
That includes a brand-spanking-new server room (my term) or "data center" (our Marketing Guy's term).
We have raised floors (to keep the cable mess to a minimum), CAT6 wiring (for Very Fast data flow - can you say "gigabit"?), and some new switches (also for gigabit). All this "giga" stuff makes my geek heart just giggle...
So now it's all ready - and we've been moving servers and switches and routers, Oh My! And changing IPs and wrestling with cable and sweating bullets to get all this stuff in place and running.
'Cause Tuesday, if it don't work, the handy-dandy wall out back will be ready for it's first bullet marks, after the hapless IT geeks have been stood, "Up Against The Wall".
So, that's where OWW has been for the last couple of weeks.
It's kinda like marriage - BEING married is great, GETTING married is... not so great.
