Fire sale at HE on used Cisco core router equipment
[url]
I wonder if some data center will purchase it just to hook it up for the flashing lights... would be quite impressive.
Wait a second, that was already done in North Atlanta and Las Vegas, wasnt it?
I wonder why HE didnt donate it to the tech museum in San Jose... would have been a better write off then selling it.
why I am musing so far off topic on a gorgeous Sunday morning?

I am currently looking at these Cisco switches:
- Cisco 2924 WS-C2924-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 2950 WS-C2950-24 Catalyst Switch
- Cisco 3512 WS-C3512-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3524 WS-C3524-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
- Cisco 3548 WS-C3548-XL-EN Enterprise Switch
1) I was recommended to chose the XL-EN model switches because it seems they have more Memory, but the second one in the list (Catalyst) is not a XL-EN, is that going to have any affect performance wise? or it doesn't really matter?
2) I was also recommended to choose managed switches because that way I can use the SNMP features to measure bandwidth, are any of the switches above unmanaged?
3) I also want to be able to manage the switch remotely, web managed, are any of the switches above web-manageable?
4) Most importantly, when my datacenter give me a 100mbit drop, I dont know which port to plug it in in the 29** series. In the 35** I see it clearly but I am not able to see it in the 29**, any ideas?
5) On some of these switches I see a special port called "Console", what is it? where does that connect to?
6) Do any of the switches above not have a console port?

I'm buying Cisco ASR 1000 router that should handle 2 Gbps bandwidth. Please advice on components, models, etc.
I have a vendor, but I'll appreciate any reference, based on your experience, on where to buy one at reasonable price. I think I can probably get refurbished ASR 1000 or similar as well, if the vendor can guarantee the quality of the device.

I have a requirement where one of our partner is planning to connect to our datacenter using a dedicated leased line.
As per our partner, they will engage a Leased line vendor for this. This vendor will terminate the leased line ( Single mode fiber -- SC connector) to the Comm room of our Colocation provider.
I have next to nothing knowledge about fiber connectivity and have few questions in this regard.
Q1. If Single mode fiber is terminated at COLO's Comm room in form of SMF SC connector, what kind of cross connect should we request from COlo's comm room to our cabinet. ( SMF / MMF )
Q2. How are these cross connects terminated in cabinet? Do Colo provider use some kind of fiber patch panel or they simply provide a fiber link with SC/LC connectors at the end of it?
Q3. If cross connect needs to be SMF SC then which cisco routers support SMF SC interfaces? Do I need SC-LC patch cable?
(I looked at the various option but could only find the following GLC-LH-SM or GLC-ZX-SM for SMF connectivity. I read about these and found that GLC-LH-SM is used for terminating single mode fiber that spans up to 10 km and GLC-ZX-SM is used for terminating single mode fiber that spans up to 70 km in length. It looks as if both of these support LC connectors. Are these the only two SMF connectivity options? Do I need SC-LC patch cable )
Q4. Our partner only tells us that the terminated link will be terminated using SMF SC. How to figure out if GLC-LH-SM or GLC-ZX-SM is required.

The Cisco 7301 has 3 integrated Gig-E ports and one empty slot which we'll use with an OC3 SMI PA for a handoff to SAVVIS. (when will they ever go to Ethernet handoff?)
Is anyone here leasing a Cisco 7301 router, who can comment on the approximate monthly lease cost? I know the approximate retail cost, but can't really guess on the residual after 3, 4, or 5 year lease, so it's hard to estimate the approximate payment to expect. I don't want to get a salesperson involved yet because once they have your phone #, they never stop calling, and I'm not 100% certain we're going with the 7301 (versus a Juniper M5 or M7i).

I've been shopping for routers, and I'm curious as to the capabilities of a Cisco 7206 VXR Router. Would an NPE-300 or NPE-400 be capable of running three BGP sessions for 100 Mbps? At what point would it start topping out bandwidth wise? How much RAM would be recommended? Is a PE-GE good enough for the connections that are delivered by gigabit ethernet?
I realize that some of you may be inclined to recommend talking to a network consultant, but at this stage that's probably premature. I'm in a planning stage at this point.

I am in the process of gathering the peices to move from a dedicated box to my own hardware in a local colo and am undecided how best to choose the edge device.
The colo has a 30Mb pipe with about 10Mb of it being constantly used during biz hours. Another 10Mb is being allocated in the next couple of months. I want to be able to burst to the full 30Mb when needed.
I am getting 12 IP's allocated but will increase to 24 soon if all goes well (fingers crossed!).
I will have for starters just a single Proliant running dnp on 2008 with IIS, FTP, Mail, ns1 and a 2003 VM running my secondary ns.
What I am unsure of is the edge device and looking for others that have used either a 2800 series router or a ASA5500 series firewall in a similiar fashion. I know what the raw throughput of each device is, but raw benchmarks are not realworld numbers by any means.
I am looking at the 2801 with IOS Firewall turned on and hopefully even some inspects for FTP and HTTP traffic. The other option and one that I am less familiar with is to use the ASA5505 instead which will do my basic routing but supposedly provide more thourough inspects and advanced rules.
Does anyone have experiance with either of these in a hosting environment and have input on the realistic throughput one can expect from either device?
There is a signifigant cost difference with the ASA5505 being much cheaper but I am more familiar with IOS. Would anyone recommend a 1841 router instead?

I did a quick search on this and could not see it as already being posted
It seems quite a clever but simple idea - remove a lot of the oxygen from the air to help reduce the risk of fire. What do those of you operating your own facilities make of this? Is anyone already doing this?

Couldn't you just remote access into your server from elsewhere? This would save you the hassle and cost of buying/installing/maintaing the KVM equipment?
In the rare case where you have no network access but need access to the server, then you could directly plug keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the server directly, right?
And in cases where you do have network access, couldn't you just plug in your laptop into the network in the colocation facility or wherever and remote access to the servers sitting two feet away from you?

We have 3 1-U servers and a 1-U UPS located in a datacenter in Vancouver. If we were also located in Vancouver, I'd probably just eBay things off. However, I'm not anywhere close to there, and I can't ask the people running the datacenter to package them up and ship them off to eBay sellers. Any suggestions for how to get rid of the equipment and maybe make some money?
I did some Googling for computers liquidators in Vancouver and didn't find much. Ideally I'd want some local firm to just show up, pick up the goods, and at some point pay me for them.

As I sit here typing this I have a stack of 10 1U 866MHZ P3 Servers in front of me.
Sometimes its possible to sell these off to some sorry soul on ebay, however if not ebay what else? I would hate to throw them out and I would like to think they could be used for something. Perhaps I could upgrade the hard drives and turn them into file servers, but then how could I even break even with the cost of co-location.

I've been searching Google for a few days in hopes of finding companies that take off lease server equipment (sometimes almost brand new) and auctioning it off to people.
I've been buying alot of equipment through resellers of these places but I would like to cut out the middle man expense and bid for myself.
For example. This week I purchased ten Dell PowerEdge R200's with X3220 Xeon CPU's in them. These are fairly new. I don't want to buy first generation single-core xeon servers.
Look forward to finding out who is supplying these people.

Me and my friend are looking to place a few servers for a soho (3 servers or so). We need advise as the incoming connectivity will be fiber so we need to know what do we need to receive that fiber, we opted to go for the catalyst 2950 for the switch but if there's a good fiber switch,
Fiber will be 10mbps.

Over the next year we are working to migrate all of our shared servers from leased dedicated servers to our own collocated equipment. As you can imagine it is a slow process, but we are getting there.
By this next week we will have about ten servers and a couple of switches colo'd. I am thinking it is time we looked at insuring the equipment we have colo'd and get it taken care of before we build up the volume anymore.
Is anyone able to recommend someone we may be able to contact to obtain insurance on our equipment? All of our equipment is at Colo4Dallas, in Dallas, TX split between our rack there and their secure storage room (spare parts, switch, chassis etc.).
I tried contacting our insurance company here in the United Kingdom to see if we could add it on to our office insurance but they became very hesitant when I mentioned the hardware was in Dallas, despite the fact it is probably more secure in the Colo4Dallas data center than our office.
So I guess we would be looking for a US insurance company that specializes in this type of thing. We would be looking to protect against equipment being damaged due to things like power surges, being dropped by a technician etc.

I'm putting together a disaster recovery plan and I'm trying to come up with a quick way to get new machines in place in case of catastrophic hardware failure, e.g. two servers go down at the same time (this is an HA setup and must always remain fault tolerant). At this point I'm trying to find someone who would rent a server to me, allowing me to take physical possession of it.
Why do I need physical possession of it? The problem is that I use IP-based storage on a private network and therefore can't rely on a rented server in another cabinet, even across the aisle in the same datacenter, without adding significant complexity to my setup.
So my question, in summary, is this: What would be the fastest, cheapest and simplest way to get a new server in my cabinet in a few short hours?
My servers are going to be in Colo4Dallas, so if there's a provider there who specializes in this or has made an arrangement with you or someone you know in the past, please let me know about them. If you can think of a better way to do things (the obvious solution of investing in more servers excluded),

employees, owners, customers and everyone feel free to join in and tell us what you think.
Do you feel that your data is safe if the company manages their own servers? By manage I mean they fully own and operate their own hardware.
Or does it not matter as long as the company is a long time and known provider? Do you ask yourself this question when you look for a host?

We are hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?
