They hell with the equipment loss. Could the company survive the downtime caused by the loss of equipment and/or could the data residing on those servers be restored in a timely manner. It's data loss and the loss of the service provided by those servers which is more worrisome than the hardware itself. -sp -----Original Message----- From: Charles R. Buchanan [mailto:crbgfblab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Personally I think your boss needs his/her head examined. :-O I take it that there is way more than 5000USD worth of equipment in there, correct? Also just how much money will be lost if that equipment has a massive failure (heat related)? How much would the company have to spend to replace the equipment and how much money will be lost productivity wise? Sounds like 5000 dollars isn't all that much after all IMO. :-) >-----Original Message----- >From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >[mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Sorin Srbu >If you have that much hardware, running without AC is insane. >Can't you get >>them to cut a hole in the wall for a $300 unit or redo some of >the AC ducts >>to cover the server room? > >Asked about this, but no.
