You dont like to be in data centers? I love them nice and cool and nice air flow and peaceful haha i dont know why but i love data centers..

I totally agree that most good companies have their NOC and their Data Center extremely close by...usually separated by only a wall or maybe a short elevator ride. You are exactly right.

As for being in the DC, I dont really know you but it sounds like you are a true geek (said with the highest of compliments). All true geeks say the exact same thing when they are touring a real DC. Most of them will get a hard on just looking at the setup...until you have to spend about 10 hours inside. I cant speak for others, but I know with a couple of thousand servers humming and over 100 Tons of A/C blowing it is cold and loud...nothing peaceful about it
