“There are varying degrees of sophistication. Some have more servers than others. Some might just have networking and backup stuff while others have redundant servers if the facility has a higher demand of processing.”
“We were trying to find pods that were all inclusive and just plug everything in. It is definitely a challenge coordinating everything. If there was a simple pod that had all that included it would help our process.”
“It's a huge pain in the ass to manage these remote facilities to be honest. It's always a headache and it's always the last thing to be handled.”
