in People are basically honest….. on The Hot Aisle
I had a cracker last week. I went to get £200 out of a cash machine outside tesco. While I was waiting for the cash, Deb (my wife) was giving me grief about something.. I took my card out of the machine and walked off with the continued ear ache but without the money. 15 minutes later, I was paying in Tesco and realised it had gone missing. I went outside for the off chance that my money would still be in the machine but resigned to the fact it had gone. When I got there, a young student said, "You lost some money?" and she had waited for me to return and gave it me back, saying that she would cry for weeks if it had happened to her. She wouldn't even take my offer of £50 for being so honest. Puts your faith back into human nature...

in Are you Planning or Running a Data Center Move? on The Hot Aisle
Hi Steve,

I am glad you bring this up..

You and I have used Reflector to manage large scale data centre migrations and one question that is always asked is.. "What happens after the migration". My reply is always, Data Centre migrations are BAU activities in a very condensed form. Companies are constantly moving servers, kit an applications around a data centre. The same principals and precautions should be used ib both large scale and small scale moves.

thehotaisle Martin,

Exactly the point I was trying to make. Data Center Migrations and consolidations are a continuous process and as soon as we stop, it all messes up and gets expensive and unmanageable again. I remember at BT implementing the continuous migration process that was a bit like painting the Forth Bridge, as soon as you finish, you start all over again.
