As many of you know SoftLayer is going global. Our Singapore DC goes live TOMORROW, and Amsterdam will follow suit shortly, so we put together a little “jingle” that I think you might know. It might be September, but if the stores are already putting out holiday items, Christmas songs should be fair game in October … And since we are entering that last stretch of work before those great end-of-the-year national holidays that give us a few days off, we can use a classic tune to help us power through.<\/p>\n
To those of you who love the song, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” you may not want to play the video below. To those who want to rubberneck at our goofiness and join us in a little fun … play away:<\/p>\n
If you want to sing along at home (because who wouldn’t?), here are the lyrics for your karaoke pleasure:<\/p>\n
We’re setting up racks
\nand hiring staff
\nWe’re gonna open up our Singapore branch
\nSoftLayer is comin to town<\/p>\n
We’re not only in Asia
\nWe’ll be in Europe too
\nWe know that you’ve been waiting for this
\nSo don’t miss our big debut.<\/p>\n
You better watch out!
\nCompetitors cry!
\nThey’re gonna pout
\nI’m telling you why,
\nSoftLayer is comin’ to town.<\/p>\n
With two data centers and two network PoPs
\nShiny new servers and cables wired up
\nSoftLayer is comin’ to town.<\/p>\n
DC CRAC Units that condition and cool,
\nPower and network in the SoftLayer Pods too.
\nSoftLayer is comin’ to town.<\/p>\n
The SLayers and our clients
\nwill have to celebrate.
\nWe’re expanding SoftLayer’s footprint,
\nFar beyond the United States.<\/p>\n
You better watch out!
\nCompetitors cry!
\nThey’re gonna pout,
\nI’m telling you why,
\nSoftLayer is coming to town.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Shout-outs go to all the SLayers who indulged us in this little song. We hope it’s less embarrassing than you expected … And if it’s more embarrassing, we hope it’s as terrible and catchy as “Friday<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Tip: If the song is stuck in your head now, one great way to distract yourself from it is to go and order a server in Singapore<\/a>!<\/p>\n -@SKinman454<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As many of you know SoftLayer is going global.
