For those of you with Noc's like mine who have a window or "looking glass", so that passer by's can gawk at you like some sort of circus freak.

I made this 'poster' a few years back and it goes with me wherever I go. Feel free to distribute it as you see fit. If you need a downloadable copy (in word2k) go here: www.directionweb.com/downloads/nerdium.zip

Enjoy

We called our NOC "the fish bowl" because we felt like we were on display at Sea World.

I actually have this posted on the glass/window.

I posted it here because I just had some people come thru and they asked where I got it and if they could have a copy of it for themselves.

I thought others might like it as well. Since I made it and I believe in free distribution, well you get the jist.

In the process of building a new site. I made our (LAN/Telecom) group off the server room, but make it COMPLETLEY seprate from the world. The CEO asked why I wanted a cave for our offices? All the other offices are open with glass walls etc.

The people with the best offices never get it, but this time I got to choose, and its going to be great!

When we moved into our new building they had already set the NOC up in the "ant farm" It was all sleek and glass with the glass tables and the like. I always felt like there should be sand and shreadded leaves on the floor so we could make our farm. I often wondered why they would do this since we all felt like we were in teh monkey pen at the zoo. 'Cept we couldn't throw dung at the windows. I have since retired to what I call the BatCave which is little more than a glorified storage room.I think it is funny because they spent all this money on this floor and not a one of my techs likes it. Is it just me or do these companies hire out of work Hollywood set designers to set up these places?

I just think it is funny.

ALthough it sucks when I just want to go to sleep.

It's more of the executives wanting to show off their big bad operations center. Not that I keep any mission critical servers here anyways. All of the production servers are in colo's.

But living in the glass house also has it's advantages. Basically we are superior to all of the other animals on the outside and we can summarily dismiss and look down on them.
