Wasted energy
The Register should start a campaign for IT to become Greener.
The amount of electricity wasted in IT is criminal! IT is helping to kill the planet!
For example, in thirty years working in the industry I've never once seen site failover implemented (in a DR event) - not once. (And if you do insist on having it - how many times a year do you test it - not the six month UPS test - a full site failover?!) . All that gear in the redundant site whizzing away and never ever will it be used! (And if it is there is a 99% chance it will not work due to lack of testing and poor design)
Biting the hand that feeds IT
