Sigh, before anyone panics because they don't have the background,
here it is:
As one of the outcomes of the offsite meeting a few weeks ago, I've
been asked to look into whether there is money to be saved by closing
the w20, and 37 machine rooms. With the exception of the 2 servers
serving the 37-312 cluster, there will be no impact on this group,
unless management orders us to close both rooms and move the servers
to our primary machine room (w92) rather than another offsite room
such as e40-008. I just don't see that happeneing. Yes, if 37-312 is
closed those two servers will have to go somewhere else and that may
have a performance impact on the stuff in 37-312. That's already
documented in the write-up I'm doing, though if Chad has any specific
numbers he wants to give me in personal mail I'll look at them.
