@Nate, Doug
Ah, I see. I have never gotten near anything so esoteric. DC's for big financial and insurance institutions was where I was operating and while they had (what they considered) huge network load requirements, the issue was latency between the high speed transaction processor engines and the trading hub, not concurrent independent process loading. That also meant that the concept of flicking over to a backup DC under any circumstances was a category 1 catastrophe. Lose even a few ms. in the trading systems and it could (apparently) cost millions, scheduled or not. As a result there were a dozen engineers about the place 24/7 so creating a wetware hostile environment in the room itself was out of the question.
