Photo Hunt: Row

I used to work in computer room at one of the local multinational company in Singapore.

We have rows of server racks that houses hundred of servers and equipments, and rows of computer monitors for monitoring purposes.

Probably, many people might ask how do we monitors so many servers.

No, we don’t check them individually.

Because we have monitoring software to help us. The software that will send alert or warning messages to the computer console when unusual situations exist on the systems. That’s make the job easy by just monitor a few consoles regularly.

Now, I am no longer working as operation support, but has moved to back-end technical support.

    I seem to get lost when I go to my office’s server room. And yes, it’s very cold in there like what I ‘feel’ from your pictures here.

    What is the different between operation support and back-end technical support?

  10. hanneng on August 15th, 2007

    @ECL, I’m also a doctor what, but my patient are computers.

    @didi, operation are the people jaga the system for 24 hours, usually on shift.

    Should there by any problem, operation team will call us (the support) to check loh.

    I thought usually is not allowed to take picture inside data center?

    @GeMini, you’re right. The 2 pictures here are taken from ex-company, not the current one.
