...That Server's _HOW_ Big?
One of my coworkers was describing the size of a new server we just ordered in.
He exclaimed to me that "the thing is 1 AU" in height.
I just about fell out of my chair laughing.
For less geeky readers:
Server heights are measured in "U"s (Units) which correspond to the spacing of the vertical bolt holes on a standard 19" equipment rack - an server that needed to be measured in Astronomical Units (even 1 AU) would be truly impressive!
