Inside a janitors closet, behind 24 firewalls, is a single SPARCStation serving the internal financial information for GE.
A single chair is in the converted closet for Hank to sit when they (it could be one person, or three working in shifts, no one is really sure. But they respond to “Hank”) aren’t putting out the most recent fire. The pile of used extinguishers are replaced daily. Hank likes his job. Hank doesn’t like you. If you’re lucky enough and get access through the 7 biometrically locked doors to exchange the extinguishers, it’s been said you can hear mumblings from inside the closet about “uptime”.
On September 30th, 2018, John Flannery, the CEO at the time, asked why this was all necessary and considered replacing this system with something more modern.
