I was joking.
The members of the other club I mentioned spot trucks and may occasionally get the chance to look round some of the company's distribution and administrative facilities.
I doubt very much Richard Tang and his employees would appreciate it very much if lots of us pitched up at Zen HQ asking to look round the data centre to do some router and server spotting
Zen staff member: "Over there is cpanel03, its a Dell PowerEdge R320 with a Xeon E5 quad running at 2.40Ghz with 32GB RAM and 7 1TB internal SAS drives, running Debian Linux"
Onlookers with open mouths "wow"
Zen staff member: "If you look behind you you'll see one of our Cisco ASR 9000 routers terminating a few of our links from our LLU equipment in the exchanges"
Onlookers with even wider open mouths "Amazing"
Would be interesting certainly but not likely.
Zen are certainly terrific though.
