The Data Center Lady
If you browse some Internet services websites regularly, you should recognise this lady. We call her the “datacenter lady” or the “Ensim lady.” This picture is in some royalty-free image banks. She is being used (and abused) on many websites.
TinEye lists about 37 websites using this picture but I personally know some more. She was previously on ensim.com.
Here is a good sample of the websites:

The best one, I think, is this. Being featured on the front cover of a MySQL database book is quite a feat.

Ha ha! I used that picture many times as well esp. as on front end pages of admin sections. She’s totally hot! What sucks is that she is courted by many and she’s very “open.”
WLOL
Gosh, I wish I could clone her for myself only
Ensim chick is a legend!

[...] Stéphane Lee pointed me yesterday to the Data Lady. This lady is going to be added to my Everywhere Girl fascination! The Data Lady is a stock photograph of a lady that is being used in a lot of data center websites, collocation websites, large database company websites and of course web hosting sites… you get the picture. Stephane used TinEye to find where else she is appearing and of course there were a couple of nice finds below including a valleywag post: [...]

I’ll have to use that picture when someone asks what the inside of an Amazon EC2 data center looks like!

We call her the red sweater lady. There is also the linebacker and Santa Claus.
She’s back here: http://www.ocarinanetworks.com
I went to a tradeshow recently and saw her 4 times!
