Got some more info at first the word was that we will be done before June, now it is more like not before August. Well, I'm not going to wait with everything until then so I'm starting now. I have one taker on the tape library and have started wiping tapes now, shouldn't take more then a few days :) I also plan on removing the unused servers like DL380G1, DL580G1 and some switches take them home so the can be cleaned and reused.
