Friday Funny: Special Delivery
Oh boy, it’s Friday! That means that it’s time for data center humor! Are you ready for a new cartoon?
Here’s how it works: We provide the cartoon (drawn by Diane Alber, our awesome data center cartoonist) and you, our readers, submit the captions. We then choose finalists and the readers vote for their favorite funniest suggestion. The winner will receive their caption in a signed print by Diane.
And now, Diane writes, “I’ve heard the term ‘pizza box servers’ a couple of times when people talk about the regular servers in a rack. So I couldn’t help but do a comic about it! ” Please add your caption suggestions for what the Kip is telling Gary.
Please visit Diane’s website Kip and Gary for more of her data center cartoon humor.
To see our previous cartoons, visit Data Center Knowledge’s Humor Channel.

Posted November 9th, 2012I can’t ping any of the new boxes we installed but at least they’re tasty!

Posted November 9th, 2012So, what you’re saying is we’ve spent two million dollars in here, and you’re using it for a pizza oven?
Excellent. I’d like a slice of Pepperoni.

Posted November 9th, 2012It took six months to get this change approved all because some idiot installed sausage in the pepperoni chassis.
Caption: The oven racks are running a little cold this morning.

Posted November 9th, 2012Did you send a request to Human Resources for a new pizza-server?

Posted November 9th, 2012Apparently ASHRAE’s latest guidelines recommend that you stack Pepperoni beneath the the other pizza’s in the rack to get the most even heat distribution.
We’re adopting a new PaaS offering; pizza as a server.
It’s easy to hide your lunch in here, as long as it’s 1U and has rack brackets.

This new pizza store is great, they delivery them on 1U boxes, it keeps our food warm and can be used as backing panels on racks.

Posted November 10th, 2012It’s N+1 on Pepperoni, but fully 2N on cheese…

Posted November 16th, 2012We’ll have to adjust the cooling to this rack a bit. The pizzaboxes are getting cold.
What? You wanted a green datacenter initiative. The heat from the servers cooks the pizza and we are selling it in the cafeteria for $3 a slice!

Posted November 16th, 2012Caption: “ASHRAE’s updated allowable ranges are working great!”
