I finally got an EZ Tag for the toll road. Man this thing saves a lot of time and frustration. The lines can get pretty long waiting for change at 5:30 on a Friday. Plus, the toll is a little cheaper.
Met with James. We went over my progress on the many different projects I'm working on. We're going to have a weekly update session to keep things moving along.
Went on a tour of some more of the facilities here with some fellow interns.
It was pretty awesome. We got to see the Factory Express Facilities where they assemble and package servers and racks built to custom order. It's somewhat of an assembly line. Each person assembles the server from all the different parts. Then, it moves to testing stations. Once passed, it is either shipped out, or sent next door to be placed in racks with other servers. It's a 24-7 process. There are also alot of young workers there. At first, I thought a bunch of high school kids were on a field trip or something, but no, they were workers.
We also took a look at what they call PODs. It's basically a portable data center inside boxes the size of shipping containers (and, sometimes they are actually made from them). These things are pretty awesome. You can just leave them sitting on the trailer and move them whenever you need.
A fun little graphic I threw together real quick...
