Our new generator installation is nearing completion.  Yeah, it's a little messy in there, but it's a work in progress :-)  Commissioning (which involves start up and load testing) will be happening soon.

I built a stand-up desk to use a while back and it's made a huge difference.  Way less back pain & an overall better mental state.  It's cheap, and well worth it.  Apart from that I walk our dogs a couple times per day and engage in some rather, ummm...  vigorous martial arts training a couple...

Regardless of the situation and what's going on, posting photos of other peoples' stuff inside of a datacenter is bad form.  I've seem some absolutely atrocious wiring in my day at various data centers but would NEVER publicly display any photos without the property owner's explicit permission...

When I used to work for cPanel we always had to deal with people who were doing things they shouldn't be.  Always a fun time.  The OFAC list is your friend.  Basically, if there is a doubt about the legality of doing business with someone, somewhere the potential hassle usually isn't worth it...

My wife and I are avid theatre-goers.  We try to hit one or two shows each year.  We tend to get more into Shakespearean stuff more than anything else.  This year though, we saw a production of the "39 Steps" which was one of the most enjoyable plays we've seen.  

It's a behind the scenes look at what goes into keeping the internet up and running.  It's something that happens a lot, but isn't really seen very often.  Personally, I think what goes on back stage is usually just as interesting as the main performance, so our team is snapping pics and I'm...

Moarrrrr Powaarrrrrr!

We loaded up the new UPS with fresh batteries...  The plan is coming together...

Yep it is.  This thread is a goal to provide a bit of insight on what's going into upgrading and expanding our Atlanta facility at 34 Peachtree St.

We're getting a PDD moved into place and plumbed in.  More pics will be coming soon :-)

We got some more of our ducting for the generator hammered out today...

We're still making progress on the expansion.   An additional UPS has been put in place and is nearly ready to get wired in. More wiring, this comes off the ATS feeding the generator...  Before... And After...

A couple more shots showing the generator in its new home.

Here are a couple more pics from the lift this weekend.  This is our second 500kW generator.  This brings our total generator capacity up to 1MW.

I'm sorting through some photos from Saturday's lift.  You'll have some more data center eye candy this morning :-)

Heh, yeah, it's a pretty substantial bit of construction :-)  As always, if you've got any questions feel free to throw 'em at us  :)

One more photo of the interior of the generator room.  It's currently getting prepped to handle the new unit so yeah, it's a bit cluttered at the moment.

We've got another big operation coming tomorrow.  We're adding our second 500kW generator unit.  This involves removing part of the side of the building, a crane, and a bunch of sweat.  Preparations are currently underway to get the building ready to receive the new equipment.

lol...  Thanks :-)  I was getting sick of the same old boring watermarks so it was time to change it up a little bit.  Nice to see someone noticed. We'll post more pics as the project progresses so I'll have even more opportunity to hone my logo-fu skills.

Ear plugs or noise canceling headphones make quite a difference when working in a DC.  Noise canceling stuff generally works nicely b/c of the constant tone of the chillers & servers.  That constant drone gets kinda rough after a while.
