New York Jets Power Camp 2009

Thank you to everyone who joined PTS Data Center Solutions and the New York Jets last night at Power Camp 2009, hosted at the new Jets Training Facility in Florham Park, NJ.

We kicked off the training event with the Power Players Buffet … after all, if you want to be a pro you have to eat like a pro. There were about 80 people in attendance and it was great getting the opportunity to talk with everyone.



Together with the folks from APC, Avocent and Packet Power, we tackled a range of data center power issues during our Power Drills, including techniques for effective management, monitoring, availability and control.



Mike Petrino, vice president of PTS, gave the crowd a tour of the data center we designed for the NY Jets Training Facility:



All in all, the Power Camp training event was a huge success. Highlights for me included our field goal kicking contest, hanging out with NY Jets legend Bruce Harper and coaching my junior football team, the Franklin Lakes War Eagles, during a scrimmage on the Jets practice field under the lights.

Talking with Bruce Harper, the all-time kick returner in New York Jets history, at Power Camp:

I hope everyone who attended enjoyed the event as much as I did. If you want to see more photos from this year’s Power Camp, please visit our Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/ptsdatacenter.
