Greetings.
I'm wrestling with a decision and I'm hoping you guys can provide
me with some relevant experience. I'm assuming some of you have
worked places with lots of servers in colos. If you haven't you
don't need to read the rest of this.
We are going to be moving to a bicoastal datacenter setup. The
decision we need to make is whether to staff bicoastally as well.
We currently have a DC (colocated) in santa clara with about 100
machines in it. We'll be building a similar setup in an east coast
datacenter.
There are currently 3 Network Operations folks who watch over the
system, but the security guy and the director of netops are also in
the oncall rotation. Plans are to hire 3 more netops folks by the
time the second DC is live. The question is: do we keep this
new staff here on the west coast? Or do we hire on the east coast?
I'm interested in hearing any experiences of small ops organizations
(less than 15 people) supporting bicoastal datacenters. How were
they organized? Did it work?
I'm also interested in experiences with larger organizations, and
in your opinions on the matter even if you have no relevant
experience.
Thanks.
