Booooring.
Our production machines are named after mountains - we have a long list of all the peaks above 10,000? ft in North America and just pull names off of it. Come up with an interesting and memorable naming convention and people will remember the names better than an acronym.
Grant Hutchinson says:
No need to convince me, Victor. But it seems that I’m working with a group of technically adept, yet acronym addled developers and operations people. Every server name on the network is suffering from the same initials-only nomenclature. Personally, I blame it on our reliance on Active Directory Services.
Neil says:
We name our servers at work after strange animals or if you like, the Mac OS versions.
Grant Hutchinson says:
I don't think there is going to be much movement to change the way we've named our servers. It would be like trying to get the technology team to switch from a Microsoft development platform to a Linux-based one. Like pulling teeth. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
