Day six in Holland

Visiting Data center
We visit data center and see how they are managing they savers and which system they are using, We discover that they have more 1000 savers and they have two saver room with complete system so if one saver room have problems they can use other room, also they have modern cooling system and they have modern technology of preventing fire, good internet bandwidth. My recommendation is that TPSC needed to have two System because if one system crush they can use another system for a while also they have to increase internet bandwidth.
