A Few More Fun eNIC Facts
- We had our own data center, on the 39th floor of 999 3rd. Massive batteries, redundant power and connectivity, a dozen or so racks: It was over-the-top.
- Our NOC had clear plexiglass floor tiles, with rope lighting in them so that visitors could “see the bits moving”.
- For a few weeks after the acquisition and subsequent data center migration, I ran a stack of servers, including the main registry for one of the other TLDs that we operated, out of my condo.
- The eNIC conference table was more expensive than all of the office furniture at the last 3 companies I’ve worked at put together.
- I was in my office on the 44th floor when we had the big earthquake in 2001. Someone panicked and grabbed me and made me run down the stairs with everyone. The only intelligent person who stayed in the office under a desk was someone interviewing for a job.
Wow, good times…
