Replacing our existing switch is a good idea, but a single 16 port switch is insufficient. We currently have more than 32 cables connected to the existing switch - some of them may be orphans, but I think planning on expansions is a good idea.

:WOW, I had a look, how was a 16 port even supposed to make a dent! --[[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 09:16, 20 February 2015 (CST)

Regarding switch ports, I updated the prices to reflect a 24port model of the same switch. We have lots of other 24 port switches around the space which can be better utilized with some planning. We don't really need to be terminating connections for the whole space at the rack, just the rack infrastructure. The idea is to lower the power consumption in the rack itself, we can run other switches around the space. [[User:Kuroishi|Kuroishi]] ([[User talk:Kuroishi|talk]]) 22:58, 17 March 2015 (CDT)

: Well, if we are trying to save electricity a switch powered on 24/7 for 3 connections seems like a waste.--[[User:Lucas|Lucas]] ([[User talk:Lucas|talk]]) 11:19, 18 March 2015 (CDT)

: We're concerned about power consumption at the rack, for the sake of our power conditioning equipment. There are a number of more fruitful avenues for reducing overall energy requirements of the space (like our uninsulated entryway, or how people leave the back door open even when we're heating the shop). A more thoroughly-planned distribution of switches throughout the space could make our network infrastructure much more useful and robust. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 19:11, 18 March 2015 (CDT)
I support this, but want to point out the obvious: if we get only one server, we won't have any fail over capability. Do we need fail over? Probably not, but it's a good architecture. --[[User:Glenn|Glenn]] ([[User talk:Glenn|talk]]) 10:30, 19 Mar 19 2015 (CDT)
We should consider a PAIR of backup drives. BackBlaze has [https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/ hard drive failure stats]. I use [http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Touro-Desktop-External-0S03396/dp/B007K4HA0W HGST Turo 4 TB] drives. --[[User:Glenn|Glenn]] ([[User talk:Glenn|talk]]) 10:30, 19 Mar 19 2015 (CDT)
