Modern Technology Tower of Babel, Designed by ChatGPT-4o after Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1563)
George Rockett talks to a friend and industry veteran, Bill Angle, Co-founder of leading New York IT consultancy, CS Technology, about his journey through the world of digital infrastructure, as he likes to put it, “looking backward can often help us with how to deal with the future.”
The discussion looks at the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of the first concurrently maintainable data center he built for the United Parcel Service in 1994, which laid the blueprints for Tier IV data centers and the world’s first low-latency trading platform for the NYSE.
Who knew that the biblical tale of Babel’s Tower has so much to do with the objectives of Yotta!
