Servers and sys admins that go bump in the night


Gather round and listen to data center managers tell tales of horror and mayhem, including haunted facilities, zombie servers and the mainframe that wouldn’t die! These stories about data center destruction will chill your bones: rats in the cabling and vampire-like sys admins that fear the light of day!

Read on and prepare for the hideous, the absurd and the all-too-real terrors in this data center house of horrors.
