HVAC typically comes out of a different cost center / budget. Which is one reason I like competitors embracing this technology. Keeps our sales people happy, too.

But I needed to do some HCD activities today What a surprise to find rows of servers spewing out so much heat That they had to bring in several of the portable AC unit to keep it cooler than 90% Seems to me that these server farms are producing more RED rather than going Green.

Where once stood motor generators, a 3090-400 (IIRC), now nearly 700 servers are starting their pigeon toed march to VM's. I've migrated over the years to supporting various unix/linux flavors, so I'll still be here. In fact, given how much work they are, I'll be here a lot more than before L during the darkness of night. Thanks for all the fiche!
