Detailed look at my data center visit

Last week on Monday Amit and I had to deploy a new Hyper-V server in our rented space in a data center in the industrial district of Dublin. It was a Dell Power edge we configured the week earlier. So Amit came to my desk and said we have to go, so we head over to our small server room in the office and get our server. We went down stairs and to my astonishment we went to the street and waited there. I looked over to him doubtful and he said he called a taxi. I was really surprised. So when the taxi finally came we deployed the server in the trunk and got in. Unfortunately Amit forgot to take the mount rails with him so we had to turn after a quarter of the route and Amit ran up the stairs and packed the rails. The ride was nice i got a good look on the south west of Ireland. So we arrived at the data center that looked more like a garage from the outside but with high tech in the inside. Inside was a security guard at the reception that had a look at his face that said „I want to quit my job“. We had to give him our ID cards and got access cards for the doors. We had to go through a big tube that „Scanned“ us. I don’t know how and what it scanned because it could not be metal since i got the hole server in my hands. After that we got into the server room. We have 2 rented racks in it and Amit showed me both. Then we deployed the rack and asked a coworker that does home office if everything is OK with the connection. After that we we got in the lounge and drank a coffee. Then we wanted to go home and quit a bit early, unfortunately Amit got a mail on his phone that one of our clients domains went down. After plenty of calls at domain hosters we found out that they contract just expired and they didn’t renew it. So we decided to went home. Of cause we got back to the city center with a Taxi and Amit got out earlier at the rail station and gave me the money for the taxi driver. And after that i enjoyed my end of the day.
