Week Two

Tuesday was more eventful than the first. Throughout the day Rohan and I were imaging new desktops, basically replicating the maternal hard disk into fresh computers so it would have the same updates. In total we were able to do twenty-three computers, however, our supervisor taught us how to download the updates and how to check them on one of the computers. In midday, that was momentarily stopped for Rick to bring us to another Arizona Tech. Council meeting. That Tuesday, it was about data centers. Data centers are especially important for corporations who need to store, process, or distribute an enormous amount of data. Now why would this pertain to gaming? Well, if you're into MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online) or MOBAs (Massive Online Battle Arena), those servers you connect to are within data centers. Your character's progress, level, equipment, pets, mounts, or what have you are stored there. All you need to do is give your username and password then voila, your character is displayed right as you left it. Arizona is ideal for these data centers to be built because natural disasters rarely happen. Heatwaves and monsoon seasons are the worse that could happen. Fans is a must for these centers; without them, these servers would shut down. After the meeting, we went back to continue imaging.

On Thursday, the whole day was dedicated to working on our SRP projects and our blogs. So I had this all pre-typed before I posted.
