Thoughts about a customer visit ...

Yesterday i visted a customer with severe space problems. You think: “Hey, my datacenter is full, too. Not a big deal”. But those folks have really no space for euquipment, to be exact … they have negative space for new equipment … when they remove one or two systems the datacenter is absolutly full ;) I thought at first, the people of the customer had a “paint it black” day when they talked about it at first … but i have to admit, that they even vastly understated the problem. This challenge will be a hard nut to crack …. but is solvable .. i have already some ideas. Sometimes it´s a good thing to work for a technology company, because some problem must be solved by technology. And can be only solved by technology.
