Agree entirely. That's why I go half-way and use Windows Azure's PaaS platform. Much less painful.
The company I currently work for have to full racks in two data centres each, most of which is near idle and it's a full time job for 2 people. Could do away with all the machines and all the associated administrative staff, just use a devops team and shave 40% of capex and opex as well by moving to something else.
But then again, they might not be getting nice lunches with HP and the DC vendor.
- devonkim 12y agoDepending upon how much they're spending, I kind of doubt HP would really pay a whole lot for trying to woo that customer. The usual method is to just cut pricing if someone gets antsy in TSG and over on the Procurve / networking side. This is a company that nickel and dimed people on trips to force them to exclude alcohol from reimbursement and had probably the lowest per diem I've ever had while traveling.
- custardcream 12y agoWell the DC vendor "prefers HP" and they have a couple of thousand racks so not so sure...
