2. Praise for the Data Center tour
Thank you for organizing these UCLA data center tours. I have seen the evolution of the MSA data center with my own eyes going back to 2008. For the past 10 years, I have worked with IDRE/OIT/OARC supporting the Hoffman2 HPC cluster at UCLA. We have roughly half of the floor space in the MSA data center, so I really appreciated getting a chance to see some new parts of it on this tour. It was also very nice to hear Tony Escobar, Data Center Operations Manager, describe just a few of the remediations that he has achieved over the years with the MSA data center. It is a world better than it was when I first saw it, and that is in no small part thanks to Tony's diligence.
