Went to a data center in Phoenix last month. The heat hit me like a wall.

Stepped out of the AC lobby into the DC floor. 110 outside. But inside? 78 degrees. They said they run it warmer to save on cooling costs. Equipment was running fine. Makes me wonder how many places do that now. Anyone else seeing higher temp tolerances?

That 78 degrees is already pushing failure margins on most enterprise hardware specs.

78 degrees is only a few degrees off from boiling water. That's way too close for comfort on any hardware I've seen.
