arachnia is on her way

yeah, i know. call me lame, but one of my favorite animated shows is Beast Wars. so, my latest naming convention for servers is based on characters from the show.

Tarantulas was the first. And, at the time, my coworkers questioned my sanity, because he was alone.
Rhinox is my testing environment (at least for now). He's grey.
Arachnia arrives today. And, she's a Dell, so she's black.

It sure beats names like XYZ1, XYZ2, XYZ3. Which one does what, now? I can't remember.
Gee, it sure would be nice to know what each did...
Tarantulas and Arachnia, you can guess.

In an environment where we have about 30 servers, mine stand out, and folks know what their functions are. The same cant be said for XYZ1 thru XYZ10 or TNC1 thru TNC10.

Just as long as you don't yell "Maximize!" every time you're working on that server.
