Supporting some IT services

Past weekend I was giving some IT support to a customer. The job was migrating servers and it took about 3 weekends to accomplish. Thankfully, last weekend was the end of the migration project and I was only monitoring the servers performance. In order to make the day more productive, I took Shana nendoroid with me.



Where am I? What is this?

Its a fully functional brand new server!!

This is where all broken computers end up, waiting for technicians to fix them. I think this is a common place in companies who has technical support divisions.

Do you remember zip reading drives from Iomega? Well, I remember I have one at home when they were very popular. I dont know if this ones still works. They are now gathering dust.

A picture of the communications 19-inch rack. I dont know if Im allowed to publish it, but If I get a warning mail and suddenly the pic is removed you know why.


"I will help you cutting off this unwanted wires."
I think thats enough for today, Shana. Our work here its done.

More pics at my flickr photostream.

I have a zip drive sitting around somewhere. I don't think I ever used it though.

I hope Kagami didn't do the loosening-of-the-salt-lid prank on you! xD

She looks very helpful though. I should get my Kagami to have lunch with me next time~!

LOL - Our IT supply room is very familiar with old units as well.

We also have a Zip drive laying around somewhere in the office as well.

@Nopy: My zip drive is the 250 MB model but the 100MB was the cheapest and more popular.

@thetsundere: Maybe we could join you for lunch.

@Bluedrakon: Iomega still sells some zip drives from the web site.
