As the guy who signs the check, "gratifying" isn't quite the right word. :-) Some stress, some amazement that everything got this large.
When we started 10 years ago, we could only afford to rent a quarter of one cabinet at the datacenter at 365 Main Street, San Francisco. We had "right of first refusal" on the rest of the cabinet we occupied. We could pile all of the hard drives ever deployed in that cabinet on my kitchen table.
Now it is semi trucks filled with fork lift pallets of drives. But it just "snuck up on us". Each day it was a little larger, each drive order was just slightly larger than the previous.
