We’ve never had an intern in the data center before, but that changed last week when Larry’s son Steve joined the data center ranks! We needed an extra set of hands to move and tear down a lot of our old chassis, and Steve was a willing victim volunteer! Lets learn a bit more about our the latest data center acquisition, shall we?

Since Steve can’t decide between Star Wars and Star Trek or Coke and Pepsi, let’s decide for him! We think he looks like a Star Trek and Pepsi kind of guy. Either way, we’re happy to have a new operations intern in the mix and we know he’ll do a bang-up job in the data center! Thanks for joining us, Steve!
