7 things you don’t want in your server room

It’s going to be a bad day when you pop into the server room to use your favorite backup software and find…

1. Servers choking on years of dust

2. Bins precariously placed above your backup tapes to catch water from the air conditioner

3. A spaghetti pile of cabling

4. A fluoro spaghetti pile of cabling

5. A toilet nested among spaghetti cabling

6. A raccoon in the server room

(Ok so this raccoon hasn’t been in a server room but the team over at Rally Dev actually had a raccoon tear apart their racks last year.)

7. A fire. Never a fire. Ever.
