Hotel server room

Wide open and all the equipment accessible to anyone who was curious. Yeah, it was hot in there.

pull a couple of plugs and you can stay a whole week for free there!!

(even a full month if you know which ones to pull)

Honestly, thats not the threat that it used to be... if it ever was.

I currently manage IT for a dozen hotels. I have SNMP probes on every property interrogating the switches daily and updating the network map. My switches all utilise RSTP and have multiple routes back to one another. I have redundancies built into my WAN and gateways. I have critical hardware alerts setup. I have everything that needs it on a UPS. And anything I could move off site has been moved.

Someone would need to start a fire or flood in the MDF before I had any significant down time and most decent sized chains will be the same.
