Data Center Staff Will Sleep Among the Racks For London Olympics

1sockchuck writes "Staff at Interxion's London data center are ready to hunker down during the Olympic Games this summer, nestled in snug sleeping pods adjacent to the racks. The arrangement will ensure that the facility will be fully-staffed if London's transit system is taxed by the huge crowds expected for the Games. While staff in many industries might object to a plan that expects them to sleep in their office, data center firms have a primary calling of keeping their facilities operational at all times. Is this too much readiness, or just enough?"

Re:It's the Olympics

The point is, working for some data center that has nothing to do with the Olympics is not contributing to the Olympics.

That said,. so the fuck what? IT's another sporting event where people will make tons of money at the top, and everyone elses lives will be a nightmare.

They can shove the Olympics for all I care.
