Telkom expands network with Teraco POPs

Can anyone from WebAfrica comment if you are using Teraco POPs and if this new improved network structure will alleviate the network problems currently experienced (mostly during business hours) by WA clients ? WAroop maybe ?

Planning, budget & build ;)

That's not exactly the best cabling I've seen to date...

I got my server room in the state it's now. The problem is stuff like 2M patch cables were used and servers installed without mounting brackets. Now you'll probably need to strip the whole thing and rebuild from scratch.

Why?

Your best bet is to have some spare racks/cabinets and start rebuilding from another side in the server room where you have space migrating one cabinet at a time. But only do this once your fixed power outlets are in place and marked, underfloor & ceiling suspended cable trays & cabling etc is all in place.

Proper DC design takes some time and thought. There are lots of things to take into consideration if you want to do it right.
 
Damn.. for an "expert" DC... its def a piss poor cabling job...

Of course I won't mention the security aspect of letting people into the DC with cameras.. but hey thats just me.
