Probably looked after by a single admin, who is over worked, lacks a supportive workplace, and fights to get some headway in an ever growing workload. Seen it all before. Easy to blame an individual.

Good thing you took pics. Sometimes the customer tries to blame the consultant. I had an issue with a RAID array going down maybe 3 times in 3 months. On the third trip we took cameras.
Customer had Windows open at the time, with rain coming in on server box. Also we found bus stop below the window and diesel fumes coming up and “scumming over the discs”. Needless to say no new Raid discs for customer!
Simply OMFG

I worked a situation like this before – the 15-foot-wide rack looked like someone had slit its belly and all its entrails had spilled out on the floor.
It me off to this day to think about the freaking lazy bastards who let it get like that in the first place.

don’t worry i sorted it all out..i made the vid before we started work..we moved all the systems to a cluster we had setup specifically for this..then stripped the racks down. started with the power supplies and UPS..and then finally network cabling..all nicely tucked in, color coded and using ties..so its all good now..at least when i left it was all good lol
Dam this could end …
Dam this could end up in a real mess if someone was to trip on any of the very freely moving power wires and on a more serius level they may get electricuted as them power sources are largely over-loaded. They need a proper cable and power managment speacilist to come in to sort out that data centres wire and power issues out. THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE IF IT REMAINS LIKE THIS
