Re: Rocky on his way to Toronto!
You basically request the "x" amount of fibres from your collocation provider, they charge you a setup fee (and monthly after it is setup).... They would then take care of pulling the fibres to/from the various points. Suspect you need some sort of building authorization to pull between suites.... |

This is so cool, we know exactly how things happen...
I work for a gaming server company and we have our own boxes in certain datacenters over the US. My boss did tell me how the noise level was high in those datacenters, but MAN that's loud XD |

The best is the fees they charge for conduit for running from the risers to your suite.. they charge per foot per month for the conduit.  Also I believe they charge per foot/month for the pipes for the water cooling system to a suite.
I used to love going to 151, wish I could go there again. Nothing beats going for street meat at 3am on all nighters lol. Still have my access card, but they have to be "renewed" annually. Spent many a long night there with my friends at Accelerated Connections...
And those guys in Switch & Data can be fun. |

Doesn't STD handle a lot of the suite-to-suite cabling at 151? |

Believe there are a couple areas... STD and the basement meet-me room are the ones I know of..... Not too sure beyond that. |

And we do not let people in the room with out ear protection.... In fact this room is so loud that we use a internal chat client to communicate with each other...

Ya the people at 151 would setup a bulkhead where they string in x number of fibres that you request. You connect your fibre patches to that bulkhead
From that bulkhead it would run to the cross connect field the strands would terminate to the Fibre Termination Box. There would be a large group of these termination boxes together and then the people at 151 would patch as necessary to route the signals coming from Teksavvy's fibre to wherever it needs to go ie Peer 1. |

said by R0CKY :Big time... it's numbing... Yeah I remember when my boss was talking to me a couple months ago when we moved to another datacenter... We have a 5U Quad-CPU MONSTER box. The thing takes 3 person to move. He says his ears rang and his back hurt for 2-3 days after that. And he's about your build.
Good luck with tonight's maintenance! |

Don't blame them for forcing such a rule... it will likely save the hearing down the road. |
