Sorry, wrong. I started as a DSO for a Tempest vault, then a smallish McDonnell Douglas data center, then migrated up to heading a platform division at Circuit City’s corporate offices to run some big iron.
Like many writers, I simplify some information so the greatest number of people understand. IT pros (current and former, such as you and I) can get into the minutia, but for general consumption I prefer to broaden.
...wrong about what?
OH! I get it! So you’re the author of the article?
Listen bud, I don’t care who you are or where you’ve been, but cooling systems don’t “lurch.” And if an electrical panel is buzzing, you’ve got overloaded circuitry or you’ve got a short.
The only sound you hear in a data center is the whirr of cooling fans in server equipment and the constant drone of the CRAC fans. Of course there’s the occasional buzz from a server alerting to faulty hardware or a POST beep, but the words you use to personify the experience are improper.
I have two undergraduate degrees, one in English and one in Electrical Engineering, and I have graduate work in professional writing and communications. I’ve worked in IT for 20 years. You’re preaching to someone who writes engineering documentation for executives on a daily basis.
