Thanks for the article, I've worked at places as well that wanted 99.999% uptime till they were delivered with the reality of the $$$, usually a happy medium is reached except for the few critical business systems.

I was working at a company that had 2 data centers ~100 miles apart, with the corporate load was split across the 2 data centers. Smaller company and for whatever reason, when these were setup, it was decided to put the data centers in the basement. There was a building inspection that was performed about a week prior to a…

Ditto, great post!

I would say it would be back in 2010 for myself, I received a layoff notice from my company, as they were out sourcing everything and 2 hours later I received a call from the contract company wanting to hire me. I walked out that day with the rest of the week off, from Wednesday on, a buy out package from my previous…

Thanks, looking forward to the rest of the series.

Done, Thanks!

Yeah had hoped too.

Great, Thanks for the update. Everything I've seen is looking good, appreciate your teams efforts!

I grew up on a rural farm, never really had the urge to go that direction for a career path, and didn't want to stay on the farm. Computers always seemed to come naturally so I translated the farmer hard work ethic into computers. I did leave IT and became a power engineer for a while, but never really enjoyed it, so I…

Good article, I myself fell into that initial trap of uneasiness. But as others have eluded to, I think adaptability is part of our job description, always question for the best solution, but be open to any possibility.

Thanks for the article.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks for the article.

Thanks, good reads. Agree as above with keeping mindful to donate to charity/volunteer, good for the soul, even if it is something small.

As always, thanks for all the articles! Nice photo.

Interesting topic, thanks for the article! Still skeptical as well right now, as I'm still very cautious of my vehicles lane assist, but look forward to the future.

Great to see these, will be useful for our new team members.
