Doing a bit of server farm maintenance. As most probably knows, I name servers based on function and Britney Spears songs; my old servers are:

DNS + DHCP: Where are you now?
HTTP: Don’t keep me waiting¹⁾
IMAP: E-mail my heart
NAS: Overprotected²⁾

Now, I’m setting up a DB server and a Cloud server. The DB ended up being called “The answer” and as “Heaven has to wait” is a Rachel Stevens song, I has to base the name on the normal operation of a cloud service, and went with “Up and down.”

1) My old web-server was slow so I set up a new one
2) I got tired of my storages dropping disks, so this is fairly paranoid with RAID and backup
