Engineer 0 - Business Exec 1
We are moving the CTO Advisor Data Center and the engineer in my has feelings.
We are moving the CTO Advisor Hybrid Infrastructure physical DC from one data center to another data center. As a service level, we don’t need redundant network connectivity. We could go a couple of weeks without connectivity. That’s the theory. However, the network engineer in me can’t deal with the fact that there’s no ETA when we’ll have the connectivity issue worked out.
We’ll have our fancy all flash storage array connected via 100Gbps to a vSphere cluster for 1TB of RAM. However, we will not have connectivity externally. I know it’s there. I just can’t access it. It feels wrong.
I could spend more money on an internet connection that’s overkill. The problem is it’s my money. And that’s money I could invest in my team or cake vs. making the engineer in me feel better.
So, Engineer 0 - Executive 1.
