Re: Pics of my office part 2
Excellent network setup. Very clean - among the cleanest I've seen on this forum. It is not an easy thing to get dozens or hundreds of cables neatly cinched and dressed.
Now if you can just get your work to get you a cabinet for your servers you can get rid of the baker's rack. I hate baker's racks! If they can afford to drop the coinage on the 2650 and the SAN, they can probably afford a decent cabinet. You could also look at APC's 4-post open rack, which is considerably cheaper than a cabinet (about $400 last I looked) and can capacitate deep rackmount hardware like the 2650. Homaco also makes something, but I don't think it's as deep. In any case, it would suit the environment better than baker's rack. My $0.02 anyway.

You're telling me....about a day so far I've spent in front and behind that rack just dealing with cables, punching down new drops and organizing them.

Ahh...check out part one. I didn't bother posting that because we haven't changed it much...when we add our new servers, I'll post an update.
