Behind the Scenes - Data Center Move

Good Thing We Have a Long Hallway

We are in the process of a data center move, and the guys have been busily working on organizing the miles of cords that go along with it. It's an impressive operation, in which low-tech (literally cutting and crimping hundreds of ends) meets high-tech (state of the art servers).

So far, I think everything's going smoothly, even if Jonmark did figure out a way to injure himself. Hopefully they will post more pictures as the move progresses, maybe even some tips for others considering a data center migration...

The picture below is what's left behind when the clipping and testing is done. Hey guys, are you gonna clean that up?

I believe Barry, Jonmark, Brian, Jeff, and Don were the primary crimpers. It truly did not look like fun. (But I think that phase is done now

Who had to do all the crimping of the cables? It always makes my fingers hurt.
