EqualLogic: It takes a licking ?

So a good number of you will remember an ad campaign from several years back about a watch maker that ran their watches through some off the wall, but real world type situations.  Most of them were extremely tough to think anything would survive let alone a watch.  The slogan was “It takes a licking, and keeps on ticking”. 
So while checking out the lab infrastructure at SNW 2010 in Dallas, TX, I was walking the line of racks and came across one rack that caught my eye.  I first noticed the equipment in the rack.  It was Dell’s M1000e blade chassis loaded with M610  blade servers and two EqualLogic PS6000 storage arrays.  This was a rack that I had worked on for the last SNW in Orlando back later this year. 
But, there was something else…. The equipment in the rack looked funny.  The rack looked off square and things looked slanted in the rack.  About that time one of my co-workers walked up and we started talking about the rack and the equipment.  Here are a couple of pictures that I took to give you an idea of what it looks like.
 
Not sure if you can really tell from the pictures, but these arrays have been beaten up.  The rails are bent, the rack brackets are bent, basically this entire rack is severally damaged.  We are not sure if the shipping case fell over, fell off a truck, or an elephant sat on it.  What the pictures do not show is that when this was discovered several of the drives where no longer seated in the chassis. 
The engineers decided to just put the drives back in, power up the arrays and cross their fingers that everything would come up.  They had already prepared to have two other arrays driven up from HQ to replace them.  To there amazement and surprise, the arrays powered up and went right to work.
What was that slogan again … they take a lick 'in and keep on kick 'in, or something like that.mobile phone mobile phone softwares cell phone softwares cell phone application
