-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The company we co-locate with had some racks made up that are 5U 10U 20U and 4U (full rack) cabinets. If you have a 5U cabinet, the rack is divided up into 8 smaller cabinets, each with it's own locking door, individual network drop and AC circuit. It provides all the physical security one needs, and allows the carrier to rent out small chunks of space to small customers. I like it because I have 24 hour unescorted access to my machines, and I know that nobody else can touch them. I also don't have to worry about someone tripping the circuit breaker, or congesting my network segment, as I get a 100Mb connection all to myself. The prices I'm paying are comparable to what the fractions of a larger cabinet would cost.
If you are thinking of adding cabinets Bill, this might be something to think about. If someone is using your network for SIP trunking and IP connectivity, you can do an awful lot with 5 or even 10 rack units. - -Tim Bill Sandiford wrote: > Hello All: > > Thanks for the kind words Henry. > > Telnet would be happy to assist TAUG members that want to take advantage of > this sort of an arrangement.
