At one time or another you’ve probably heard someone proudly proclaim, “We eat our own dog food!” Isn’t this really the epitome of the rhetorical statement? Does anyone expect to see Papa John chowing down on a Domino’s pizza or learn the CEO of McDonalds sneaks out to have a Whataburger for lunch (even though that Monterrey Melt is wickedly good)? Of course not! They would never do that ... until circumstances force them to. And the same is true for us in the data center industry: We always eat our own dog food, until it decides to bite back.
