It's been a while since I have had to go into the trenches and physically work with gear. At my last job, I had a field technician that traveled all over the US so that I didn't have to. However, I was asked to come in and do a job in Denver and I obliged. This is just a couple of the several hundred racks that are in this facility. The Internet is a big flat network, but every single one of those cables does something to support it. The blue cables are standard Ethernet cables like you would find in your own house. The yellow and orange cables are fiber optic cables.
Silicon Graphics still in use.
On my way to Hungary a friend invited me to see his company's offices.
An anonymous source submitted these to me as an example of how NOT to cool a machine room.
Yes, that is a box fan zip tied to a cable ladder, hanging under a cooling duct.

My boss took this picture. You can just make out the HP blade servers at the bottom of the middle rack
When I was a student at PSR, my work-study job was at the DataCenter, which, at the time was a serials library and progressive research center with strong ties to the Central American democracy movement and had played a role in publicizing some of the Ollie North/Iran-Contra information. While I was there, I worked on the Plant Shutdowns Monitor and Corporate Responsibility Monitor, mostly.
