Inside Xbox Live's Operations Center

Cold Dawg writes "[H] Console takes an exclusive behind the scenes look at the Xbox Live Command Center with Jason Coon, Operations Program Manager for Xbox Live. Steve Lynch says, 'The Xbox Live Operations Center or "XOC" (pronounced zock) is where all the action is. The large room is literally wall to wall workstations and LCD monitors. There are several monitors attached to the wall at the front of the room that display all kinds of system information. There were also a lot of media carousels at one end of the room, each capable of holding 150 games. From what we saw, there was easily enough storage capacity to hold over 3,000 games.'"

I'm really impressed by the control room. Oh, wait a minute. Those pictures are of the lobby and not the control room. Must be a slick operation that out rivals the Defense Department control rooms that they don't show pictures of their control. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if the control room was nothing more than two former game testers playing minesweeper while the server is on fire.
