The CK Daily – Games and Holiday Fun!
Good morning!
Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve been working my way out of my inbox for some time now – and feel like I’m finally caught up from being away for a few days. My goal is to go after inbox zero this week, as Chris has shared and I’m going to try and do that through Craig’s recommendations.
Over the holidays I took a little extra time off and feel so grateful I was able to do that. It was such a wonderful time to be able to do some of the things I’ve been putting off for a while and also just to spend undivided time with family.
Now, I must know – what was everyone’s favorite part of Thanksgiving this year? I enjoyed playing new games with family and also really enjoyed the stuffing that my husband’s grandmother made. It was some of the best stuffing I’ve ever had and normally I’m not a big stuffing fan!
Anywho, what a sweet season of time we are in where we get to gather with friends and family in hopes to spread holiday cheer. Who’s ready for Christmas?

Learning Center Article – Data Center Server Rack Sizing Guide
Data centers run on server stacks, and they are usually stored in server racks. So, if you need a lot of processing power and/or data storage, then you’ll need to understand rack sizes in order to strategize.
Unfortunately, server racks are not measured according to specific official dimensions. Fortunately, they are standardized, and you can read those standards when you understand the measuring unit utilized across the industry.
This quick guide will explain how racks are measured and what you need to know in order to pick the correct server rack for your operation.
