On Thursday, 11/4/2015 most of Backblaze (33 employees) took the day off and went to visit the Backblaze Sungard datacenter located at 11085 Sun Center Dr, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670. The only employees who did not go are these six: 34. Casey Christensen, 35. Dave Stallard, 36. James Fleishman 37, Ryan Kilby, 38. Natasha Rabinov and and 39. Casey Jones. Below we are all lining up to get badges.
Milling about past security waiting for everybody to clear through security. You can see our Backblaze Red Storage Pods in the cabinets here.

A stack of new hard drives sits unopened inside our cage.
