Data Center Cleanup: Part 2

The next step in the cleanup process was deploying switches to each rack, commonly referred to as Top of Rack (ToR).  We opted for a slightly different twist on this, and decided to install the switches in the bottom of the rack.

With ToR, when a cable is too long, there is the potential for droop.


With this in mind, we opted to install the switch at the bottom of the rack.  This way, excess cable collects at the bottom of the rack.  

Still a bit messy, but another step toward forward.
