I was blown away by how clean it is inside! :) It's almost mostly lights-out -- I only saw two employees during the 60-minute tour, and the lights went on/off automatically as we traversed the hallways.

Financial.jpg is a cage with special security for one rack that's used with credit card transactions. Super_hp.jpg is "TIGER" -- their HPE-designed supercomputer. IBM_9.jpg is their newest machine under construction.
