There's also a case to be made that governmental organizations really
oughtn't to have servers just lying around in random rooms, and that those
rooms are de facto government data centers, whether those who're responsible
for said rooms/servers know it or not . . .
If that is the goal, don't call it data center optimization. That is
server optimization.
When you say "data center" to an ordinary, average person or reporter;
they think of big buildings filled with racks of computers. Not a lonely
server sitting in a test lab or under someone's desk.
