Overheard: When the big box from HP arrived, it was like Christmas

Blade servers, Data Center

The crinkle of plastic, that crisp electronics smell, the unscratched metal–it’s a data center manager holiday. So, last December, when I started the installation of thirty-two blade servers in our new facility it was Christmas morning all over again.”

I’m hoping for a little box from HP this year.
