My house isnt built for moving furniture, it's built for living in. I've not moved a bed in or out of the bedroom in 8 years now. But for the 15 minutes I did move a bed, the door and hallway had to accomodate it. Humans have to go into datacenters - often in an emergency. Complicating the servicing of equipment by having sweat drip off you into the electronics is not condusive to uptime. /kc On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 03:45:30PM +0000, Keith Stokes said: >There are plenty of people who say 80+ is fine for equipment and data centers aren???t built for people. > >However other things have to be done correctly. > >Are you sure your equipment is properly oriented for airflow (hot/cold aisles if in use) and has no restrictions? > >On Oct 11, 2017, at 9:42 AM, Sam Kretchmer <sam () coeosolutions com<mailto:sam () coeosolutions com>> wrote: > >with a former employer we had a suite at the L3 facility on Canal in >Chicago.
