Oh,I actually wanted to keep this for my memoirs, but if we can name danger datacenter operational issues …. somehow 2000s:
Somebody ran its own datacenter,- once had an active ant colony living under the raised floor and in the climate system, - for a while had several electric grounding defects, leading to the work instruction of “don’t touch any metallic or conducting materials”, - for a minute, had a “look what we have bought on Ebay” - UPS system, until started to roast after turned on, - from time to time had climate issues, leading to temperatures around peaks with 68 centigrade room temperature, and yes, some equipment survived and even continued to work.
Decided not to go back there, after “look what we have bought on Ebay, an argon fire distinguisher, we just need to mount it”.

From a datacenter ROI and economics, cooling, HVAC perspective that might just be the best colo customer ever. As long as they're paying full price for the cabinet and nothing is *dangerous* about how they've hung the 2U server vertically, using up all that space for just one thing has to be a lot better than a customer that makes full and efficient use of space andall the amperage allotted to them.
