ENTROPY IN THE DATA CENTRE.
Plans, schematics, diagrams: if you build datacentres, you’ve probably got a black belt in Visio and a world class collection of structured cabling blueprints. A bit like Prozac, blueprints have that ability to create an illusion of tranquillity. There is order, they whisper; things are as they’re meant to be. But the universe tends towards disorder: it’s a phenomenon called ‘entropy’, and datacentres are not immune. Entropy creeps in at a scale too small to register on blueprints. Intra-cabinet links, for instance, are least planned and most dynamic. And entropy creeps in with the passing of time, as changes warp the geometry of your cabling.
