VSI are building a brand new computer room to support their operations
and Eisner is going to live in this new computer room.

However, it's become clear over the last few months that this construction
work is _far_ more involved than previously thought and Eisner was
transferred to VSI before the extent of this work became clear.

It would be more accurate to say that I consider Eisner to be the
environment which is represented by the sum of what's on the system and
data disks, including the operating system, current configuration and
the private/shared data. I would have no problem with that _full_
environment running on other physical hardware or even virtual hardware.

IMHO, it's what's on the disks that defines Eisner, not the hardware
currently hosting that content.
