In about every meeting or presentation we participate in, we’re asked about the PINES/Evergreen servers, what they are, where they live, how many there are… basically, what is behind the green curtain? Some PINES librarians that attended the focus group meetings we held in February got an opportunity to take a tour of the datacenter and see the PINES server cluster for themselves. Unfortunately, for the rest of you, we’ve had to resort to whiteboard drawings and obtuse hand gestures.
