Cisco 4500

by Jay Hanke

Without objection, I think we can power off and remove the 4500. I don't think anything is left on it.

Akamai Install Update

by Jay Hanke

Akamai is sending 2 Horizontal PDU to replace the verticals that don't fit. They should arrive in about a week. The Cisco 4900m router just shipped tracking# 795243703999, & should be there by the 4th.

My experience with IEC PDUs has been generally positive, so long as you do this. If you don't, you are just asking for power issues as cables fall out (or partially out) of the PDUs.

If a new PDU needs to be purchased anyway... I suspect the Akamai servers have IEC inputs. It might be worth considering a PDU with IEC connectors on the output side. This could provide enough outputs in 1U vs needing 2U for two PDUs. Disclaimer: I haven't seen the rack, so this is just a general comment to consider.

If we need to modify the strips or anything of ours facing the infrastructure we would appreciate a heads up. Our documentation is fairly meticulous and we like to keep as-builts. We're well aware of all of the requirements to occupy all sorts of datacenters globally and will be happy to support the most cost effective implementation possible. I don't think that we're too far off from turning up. I'll be posting an "on" notice as soon as we get cleared from deployment.
