Not once did I break for a quick phone call or email. I have been in the Data Center business (Design new, Retrofit, Layout, Manage, Upgrade, Migration, and decommission) for the last 25 years. Mike is one of the few people I have found who thinks like I do. I asked the question on whether there are any things you can do to recover reserved capacity from a Tier 3-4 (2N) Data Center, knowing that DC managers most stop adding load when they reach 40% of UPS capacity on each side of the 2N configuration, in effect only utilizing 40% of the total UPS capacity. I was expecting the typical answer I have received from many who this question is posed to which is, "you can't exceed design capacity". Instead Mike said that there are many actions as long as you understand and monitor your loads. Mike seems to be the type of person who thinks "outside the box", or better yet thinks "inside the data center. Mike presence and discussions kept my attention throughout the entire webinar.
