Network Dictionary – Temperature Excursion

Temperature Excursion – definition – your data centre cooling isn’t working properly and its either too hot or too cold.

As quoted in this report at The Register.

I mean, really, what a classic piece of consultospeak. Instead of just speaking plain and clear, we have a manager who feels the need to use REALLY BIG words to get a simple idea across.

And a journalist who dutifully repeats the same crap.
