Friday Funny: Up, Up and Away!
Happy Friday! Since it’s Friday, that means it’s time for our caption contest, with cartoons drawn by Diane Alber, our favorite data center cartoonist! Please visit Diane’s website Kip and Gary for more of her data center humor.
This time, Kip is getting airborne. Diane writes: “I love the movie ‘Up’ and the constant use of the word ‘cloud’ inspired this next comic. Kip finally wanted to see what this whole ‘cloud’ thing was about. ”

Kip, there’s an easier way to access the ‘cloud’.
They say this converted missile silo is outside any flight paths.
Kip, While your up there please reboot the cloud server.
Kip, I don’t think that’s how you connect to the cloud.
Are you sure you can summon 1.21 gigawatts needed to power on the cloud?
