Network Upgrades 4/25/2010
We upgraded
the backbone of our network to utilize redundant fiber paths to all switches
and replaced older equipment so we can provide IPv6 service to our customers.
This upgrade was also necessary as part of the process of adding Hurricane
Electric as an additional provider. We will be announcing IPv6 once we go live
with HE some time during the month of May. Not only have we upgraded network
equipment lately but we also added additional A/C units in the dedicated server
room. The biggest unit is a split system that does not run on the building
chilled water system so as to provide redundancy in case the water loop goes
down. We also ducted the unit so there are cold air drops in each cold row and
a shared hot air return. One smaller unit was added as well as supplemental cooling
in the case that one unit goes down so there is still plenty of cooling. With
this upgrade we now have N+1 cooling in the dedicated room as well as multiple
network paths to each switch and redundant power supplies.
Joe's Datacenter Attends ARIN Meeting 4/18/2010
ARIN's Public Policy Meetings are an integral part of the Internet number
resource policy development process, and ARIN staff and representatives report
on the organization's activities at the Members Meetings. Together these
meetings bring together industry professionals, government representatives, and
Internet community leaders in an open and productive forum. We were happy to
attend this meeting and take place in the discussions. With the IPv4 pool
running out we are working hard to make sure we are ahead of the curve in
moving to IPv6.
Hurricane Electric comes to KC 4/01/2010
Check out Hurricane Electrics website http://www.he.net/ip_transit.html
you can see that Oak Tower 324 E. 11th street has been added to the
list. We have already signed contracts and are ready to go live once the fiber
is lit. The estimated delivery is sometime in May. We have already setup the
network equipment and have fiber ran to their dmarc. Hurricane Electric is
known for having one of the best if not the best IPv6 network on the internet.
