The End Always Justifies the Means.

“They shall be my finest servers, these hardware who give themselves to me.
Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of Sacramento I shall forge them.
They will be of iron chassis and steely processor.
In great racks shall I clad them and with the mightiest interconnect shall they be armed.
They will be untouched by static or wear, no fault will blight them.
They will have firewalls, IPS and HIDS such that no foe will best them in battle.
They are my bulwark against low density.
They are the defenders of scalability.
They are my Sun boxes…
…And they shall know no load.”

I either need more or less coffee. I haven’t yet decided which.
