huge salaries + ten "ops engineers", lol.
I know *data centers* that run on a few naive 20 yos admins/technicans + 1-2 "engineers" and all of them combined do receive salary of $5-10k/month in east eu
- citizenpaul 4y agoOne time I was doing research on some really cheap data centers in basically 3rd world countries. Just out of curiosity to see how cheap it could really get. One of the companies had a picture of one of their "datacenters." It was something like 10 racks in a moldy unfinished basement with visible water on the floor of what I'm guessing was a residential building. Maybe they had mopped the floor for the picture? I thought it was strange they would put that picture on their site and not some GCI or something. I guess at least you know they are not lying about being a real place?
- tester756 4y agoI mean, the one I'm talking about is relatively reasonable on infra they've decent building, data center tier, so power/network redundancy, etc, etc they're just cheap as fuck when it comes to people
- MajimasEyepatch 4y agoPeople are the most important part of any operation! That's the last thing you want to cheap out on.
- choletentent 4y agoI’ve just had a good laugh from your comment! Maybe water on the floor was for cooling.
- loloquwowndueo 4y agoShare the company name / picture please :)
- citizenpaul 4y agoIt was years back, I don't think I could find it again. I wish I saved it. Finding the company in the first place was a rabbit hole project. If my memory is correct is was in Brazil. I really should start a blog for some of the weird research I do sometimes.
