Day 408, Post-mainframe, pre-organised, pre-virtualised


A time-slice from April 2001.

This was between the 'mainframe period' and the 'actually properly organised in racks' period.

The image below shows barely a quarter of the room.



And most of the rest was as haphazard.



Now the server estate has grown by a factor of around 20 and occupies about an eighth of the space.

Due to improvements in hardware, implementation of virtualisation, and buying proper servers and putting them in racks.

It's even slightly tidier.
