Regarding the whole Nexus vs. 6509-E debate... the client currently has the same type of configuration, 2 core 6509 and 2 server farm 6509, they have VERY limited space and wanted a seamless upgrade. They gave me a list of equipment that they wanted and I ordered it. In this case, they wanted...

I am upgrading a client from an existing EOL Cisco VoIP setup that uses 8 separate servers and in the process upgrading their existing core and server farm switches. The new Cisco VoIP will run on the 2x UCS C210-M2 servers, saving the client a ton of money on cooling and power requirements...

So this is what $1.1M of Cisco product looks like...

How is the quality of the ShoreTel end-points? I might be a little biased, but I've found that most end-points outside of Cisco IP Phones feel very cheap and dinky. I've used some Avaya IP phones and they were disgusting. The handset feels like a piece of plastic crap and the buttons feel like...

Long weekend coming up... I guess it's time to finish up that dirty, dirty basement datacenter?

LOL and +1 on Monoprice.com

I don't have any purple cables in there... :(

The DragonWave will be running in the 24GHz / UL band.

Yes that's in the basement of my house. I run a bunch of different service from there. Also have a small colo facility in the city.

I am still in the process of cleaning out the datacenter... we're getting there. Should be done by the end of this week...

It's a Cisco CSS11000 SCA, basically acts as a front-end for an HTTP server farm. All the servers can be running HTTP without SSL, this box emulates each server and encrypts the data and makes it HTTPS.

I'm in the process of moving off of a single-core LAN/WAN topology to a seperate core for the WAN and one for the LAN. Since I consider the PtP microwave link to be part of the WAN group, it will be connected to the 3750G switches.

The Cisco 7120 is used to connect my ATM OC-3 link from Cablevision.

We have clear LOS (There's a lake so the earth kind of dips and our houses are on tops of hills, kind of. We established that it was LOS a few nights ago, fired a 100mW green laser from my rooftop to his house at 4AM) The houses are 14,950 feet apart, which is about 2.83 miles. I am...

LOL! It's the plastic cover over the N-Type connector that goes to the ODU... :D

Here's my new DragonWave Horizon Duo IDU... it supports dual channels and allows for up to 1.6gbps PtP transmission (providing you have full LOS) I am waiting for the ODU unit to come in. Also waiting to wire this unit up with power, runs on -48VDC, and I only have one shelf that's already...

Looks like a VCR or a cable box or something... cool thing is it comes with 3 gigabit ethernet ports right on the motherboard.

Ugly?

Mix of 3560G-24-PoE and 3560G-48-PoE... with a lonely 3750G-12S crushed below. All ports gigabit, all ports PoE. :D 1140 Gigabit PoE ports in all...

Those MSA boxes remind me of something that should belong in a home theater rack... especially that huge knob on the right, can you turn up the volume of the WAN please?

I used to run a full 42U cabinet full of hardware in the garage. Winter time I would get about 40 degrees in there.. summer time 110+ degrees!

I am also going to use it to archive the DVR recordings. It'll serve other functions too, such as storage for the FTP server.

It's an IBM x3650 M2. Configured with 2x dual-core Xeon 5500, 12GB RAM and 12x 500GB 15K SAS drives. Will be used for backup, DVR archiving and media streaming to the PS3.

Not the neighborhood, just the houses on my side of the street. It's a new development.

This just in... My new IBM storage box with 12x 500GB drives..

Yes. It's turned into a big mess since then. I run indoor SMF fiber in PVC conduit. The access switches are in a gigabit loop coming into a 3750G-12S-E at the headend.

Those HP's are awesome! Great price too..

I am a Unified Communications and internetworking specialist for a large integrator. I run a side business hosting Cisco VoIP and I serve my development with Internet and voice services.

Optimum Lightpath always wires up the Atrica units with dual gig uplinks to their WAN. My handoff is the blue Ethernet cable. The PRI is the grey cable, setup via TDMoIP.

SMF fiber ring running 1gbps Ethernet..

It's a Cisco ONS15454 MSTP. Long Island Fiber Exchange is delivering their data services to me via Verizon. Verizon installed that box and L.I.F.E. have an Alcatel-Lucent switch connected it to it with 2x GiGE SMF connections. I don't know much more than that, it's not COAM.

The LP service will be a 50mbps circuit, on it are also 2x PRI's, taking about 3.2mbps away from the data circuit.

Also, just got wind that CV is finally almost done with the background processes need to bring us over from our "ancient" OC-3 connection and into the new millennium with metro-ethernet. The turn-up of this new Atrica box NID should be complete by the end of July... yay! :D

I bought these awesome little HP GigE PoE switches for use as CPE's in my customer's homes. Replacing those dinky Dell PowerConnect switches. These will allow my customers to directly patch their entire home network into this switch, providing GigE connectivity, as well as providing PoE to...

No... did not even start. Still a nightmare disaster in progress...

Not sure what's going on this morning... :rolleyes:

That's actually at 60 Hudson.

Different locations. The C5500 is used by a network transport company for inter-floor connectivity. They drop one of these off in pretty much every suite in the building, allowing you to cross-connect suite-to-suite or floor-to-floor.
