I've deployed substantial quantities of gear in 9 datacenters across 4 countries in my career. I've gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What's your background?
