It's only a problem if you want a little extra peace of mind... Two colo customers, Vern and Gomer, are trying to do some work on their server: Vern: Hey, which'a these here cat 5 cables goes to our server? Gomer: Whadda I look like, a cable map? Trace it out. Vern: (Grumbling) It's a guldurn rat's nest. (2 minutes later...) Vern: Okay, I think it's thissun here. (Unplugs the cable.) Gomer: Hmmm, that's funny, I'm still pinging our server... Vern: Sheeeit! I unplugged the wrong guldurn cable! Gomer: Stick it back in afore the po-lice get here! (A moment later.) Vern: Whew. Gomer: Yeah, whew. (A beat) Gomer: So which one is OURS? Vern: Whadda I look like, a cable map...? > I'd be more concerned about cooling and > power unless you have high-security data on your systems, > in which case you should be buying a locked cage > or cabinet anyway, and probably doing a whole host of > truly paranoid things to detect logical, physical, and > electromagnetic attack vectors. Most people are looking for some kind of reasonable balance (read: not too expensive), somewhere in the middle, with open rats' nests at one end of the scale and electromagnetic tamper detection at the other. --Eric _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
