| Network |
|
With today's multiple server environment, how you configure your network can be one of the most difficult problems to solve. Many network managers are accustomed to doing things one way, not knowing the pros and cons of doing it another. Should the core network switches be located in any one particular end of the room, or in the center? What percentage of the room should be run on copper versus fiber? Should distribution switches lie in each cabinet, or each row? Top or bottom? There is no one right answer for everyone. The answers lie in an ICP, or an Infrastructure Concept Plan. This plan will help your network team to develop an overall strategy for your existing, or new data center. Consideration must be given to the power and cooling in the room at the same time, as all parts must coexist in a cohesive fashion. Contact TMI to conduct an ICP or steer you towards one of our partners who specialize in this field. |
