XO feedback

Hi, We're currently looking to buy transit from XO for one of our DCs. Their pricing is very competative compared to some of the other providers we've considered to date. I'm hoping to get some feedback on their services, support, peering arrangements and the overall stability of their core backb

LTE for CCTV projects?

A friend of mine works for a physical security company, and he is looking for LTE vendors who might help him create wireless networks that they can run video over. Up to this point, they've used 5.x GHz (802.11a and now 802.11n) for most everything, with 4.9 GHz in certain cases where they could a

I can't say I share the same experience. Their pricing is mediocre and their billing and customer service are absolutely atrocious. They sold me six cabinets with transit in one of their facilities, never installed power to the cabinets, and then tried to invoice me for the transit. To this day no

SPANS Vs Taps

As I was doing a design today. I found that I had a bunch of 100 MB connections that I was going to bring into a aggregation tap. Then I was thinking, why don't I use a switch like a Cisco 3560 to gain more density. Anyone run into this? Any down falls with using a switch to aggregate instead of a

Re: SPANS Vs Taps

Depends on the the bunch of 100MB connections. On the down side, when aggregating using a Cisco switch is a limit on the number of switch ports you can aggregate. On the up side, you don't have to be concerned about another device between the switch and device you want to connect to. Gary
