Singing the Same Old Song
There are a few benefits to consolidating all your servers in a couple locations rather than having them spread out all over the world in each major center. Administration is centralised and only a couple people have to spend their days babysitting them. Patching is centralised. And... that's about it.
A short list of consolidation suckage:
- Loss of power kills all centers
- Loss of communications kills all centers
- Inability to work with the base hardware
- Bureaucracy
- Admin ego
The guy who used to be my partner of sorts prior to consolidation is now my nemesis. He plays the part well.
