HP returns
May 2nd, 2005A few months ago I had the pleasure of mounting 3 HP servers. I prayed it would be the last time we would meet, but it turns out that didn’t work. Now the task is to mount 15 servers all using erector-set like tactics. Mike and I were able to mount 4 sets of rails in roughly an hour, bringing the 5min/screw average down to around 2min/screw. This is unlike other screwless brands were we can have a set of rails mounted in under a minute.
Trying to figure out why HP decided leave rack rails un-engineered I went to the website. Quickly I found out that this was a treat from corporate leadership. Mark Hurd, the current CEO and President, says, “Everything we do must be for the customer. If it’s not, then we need to reconsider why we’re doing it.” So thats right folks, they did it for us! Mike, myself, and all other sysadmins that are stuck with HP gear will be the most dexterous, patient, screw driver able people on the planet! All thanks goes to HP for making customers a must!
