Note that I an not answering in any sort of "official" capacity....but I will instead ask this for your consideration: Do servers in "test, stage, development, or any other environment" really need to have the same environmental, power and connectivity requirements that "production" servers have? And should a dev lab containing a couple of servers and a few developers really be called a "datacenter"? -Mark Ganzer SSC-PAC San Diego Code 82700 Office/Voice mail: 619-553-1186 NOC: 619-553-5881 On 3/11/2016 9:21 AM, Roland Dobbins wrote:

The U.S. Government has an odd defintion of what is a data center, which ends up with a lot of things no rational person would call a data center.
There's also a case to be made that governmental organizations really oughtn't to have servers just lying around in random rooms, and that those rooms are de facto government data centers, whether those who're responsible for said rooms/servers know it or not . . .
