Inside Xbox Live's Operations Center 15
Cold Dawg writes "[H] Console takes an exclusive behind the scenes look at the Xbox Live Command Center with Jason Coon, Operations Program Manager for Xbox Live. Steve Lynch says, 'The Xbox Live Operations Center or "XOC" (pronounced zock) is where all the action is. The large room is literally wall to wall workstations and LCD monitors. There are several monitors attached to the wall at the front of the room that display all kinds of system information. There were also a lot of media carousels at one end of the room, each capable of holding 150 games. From what we saw, there was easily enough storage capacity to hold over 3,000 games.'"

People want to be impressed.
People aren't impressed when you show them a single mid-tower server on the floor/shelf
They're impressed when you show them a rack full of 1 or 2U servers, or many many racks of them...
Or you tell them "Yeah, we have around 2900 servers running this thing"...

Are we bragging about shelf space in our server rooms, now? You know, I could fit over 6,000 Xbox games in my spare bathroom, and have enough room left over for several monitors and a keyboard or two.
PING [H] Console: Come over and visit my spare bathroom. Just jiggle the handle if the cistern makes that noise, and put up
