Pleased to announce that nearly all of the equipment arrived at the correct building, minus a Pure Storage array that I think is somewhere in Providence, and further configuration is currently impossible due to the vendor deciding we must have *meant* to order the compute with 100Gb IOMs while in reality the super geniuses on our network team can't support above 25Gb.
