I think maybe the reason you are being flamed is because generally people put in charge with the design/roll out of a data center environment should already know something about the logistics of such a project. Whether it is power, network, or pretty much any aspect of it for that matter. Also it can be fairly hard to determine the power requirements of a location without specific information, and the lack of said information probably frustrated people. Just a little editorial on why you may be getting flamed. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: Dan Lockwood [mailto:dlockwood@coe.shastalink.k12.ca.us] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 2:17 PM To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Datacenter electrical/genset To throw some water on the flames that I have been receiving, I will be posting a summary of everyone's good information this weekend when I get time. It is my intention to make that information available to the community. Calling me names is childish and unnecessary. Again, thanks to those that took the time to participate.
