Datacenter Don'ts in Photos of Broadband gear http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20959792 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:58:11 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:58:11 EDT Re: Datacenter Don'ts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998085 TomS_ : The pictures of the new DC bring a tear to my eye. So nicely done in comparison to the old one. :D

The ISP I work for completed construction of a new datacentre a year or so ago. Its extremely well done, and a lot of money was spent on it to make it that way. Lessons were learned from the first datacentre we constructed (its pretty good, dont get me wrong, but certain things were done differently with the latest one to make it more efficient and structured).

There is still a ton of room left at the second DC, and enough undeveloped space within the building to almost double the size of the facility, but weve run out of power capacity and IIRC the cost to have additional power capacity installed is greater than the cost of building an entirely new facility elsewhere, so thats what were doing. :-)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20998085 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 03:21:28 EDT Re: Datacenter Don'ts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20982046 Silentwolf : The new looks pretty good! :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20982046 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:02:44 EDT Re: Datacenter Don'ts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981636 deleteme : I miss the yellow fiber trays :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981636 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:45:34 EDT Re: Datacenter Don'ts http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20981458 Maxeh : fiber flow trays rock
