Large server setup question

has anyone else noticed that 75% of those picks show extremely messing cabling?

I mean, how can you say you manage switches professionally, if they look like a dump?

Now this is what Data Centers are suppose to look like ^^

i know I only work in a school that only has 1000+ users, but our cabs are properly neat and tidy.... and you get mesmerised by all the twinkling activity lights on the switches =)
(..... is it possible I'm a bit too geeky.....nah!) =P

will see if I can post any pics of our cabs for you

Our offsite storage that uses 100tb a day automatically adds hard drives to itself with a robot arm, how cool is that!

avoid the following setup styles...

*hint* if your setup ends up looking like this, you may have made a few small mis-judgments

Looks like our department switch rooms. :eek:

Well, apart from the sign and what looks like a working air conditioning unit.

I like the look of the server rooms with good wiring; it is really cool when all of the wires are cable-tied and put in place.

On a similar note, this website:

(Although about networks) Is very interesting.
