I've been in a couple "lights out" datacenters and there always seem to be electrical/cooling/backups engineers in and around running regular checks. Which is great! Also services for cleaning public spaces.
Come on, there are very few mummified remains at most Google data centers. I did the last count, and it was barely 40%.
