== DATA CENTER HUMOR ==
- National Mutual: "When the fire alarm goes off, you have 30 seconds to clear the floor, then the doors lock. Halon gas is then released. .. Halon gas is perfectly safe ... It's the lack of oxygen which kills you.".
- Backup generators always fail to start UNTIL AFTER the battery banks have been exhausted.
- 9-track ibm tape write protect rings make great frisbees on a slow graveyard shift.
- The BIG RED push button really does power down the whole floor.
- You can never find a tile-lifter when you need one.
- ICL Mainframes had prettier blinking lights than the IBM big iron.

The History is just WRONG
ENIAC had a sister in England not mentioned and it was a computer techonolgy development center not a storage center. Xerox Park wasn't a storage center but spurned both Apple desktop and decades later Wind95.
Texas taxpayers paid for a huge "census computer", it spurned "SCSI" - a major item. That was a data center.
Unwaveringly: AT&T long distance center, AT&T Unix and it's magnetic tape drives: were active data centers before hard disks existed.
There may have been "military data silos" before AT&T, but these did not share data. But there is no citation for these. AT&T used data for long distance - which was digital long before people knew what digital transfer was.
The first PUBLIC INTERNET DATA CENTER I can remember were: Sun Micrososytems (Solaris) ftp site and, sometime after, ibibio. Those beside, colleges (mostly in the USA or who were sold IBM over-seas) used to offer "Data Center" services to the public when "the internet" was not yet in the dictionary.
Sun's datacenter used 1/2 of all of an electric plant's power by the time it was shut down for more a energy efficient center. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:143:480:A4C0:4ECC:6AFF:FE8E:47D (talk) 22:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Fire Protection
This is incorrect. The standard isn't having non-working fire protection "plans" on municipal papers. The law requires qualified electricians, not PC people, to insure the wiring is safe to it's ampacity and proper fused. Then also the fire marshal agrees the equipment doesn't catch itself on fire nor can it catch neighbor equipment on fire. Those are non-pc "non-electronics" skills.
