More Networking Skullduggery

Here are some more photos of the Get Smart gig Today... Thank god for shoe phones. Two large 'Air Blue' air conditioners keep these network Terminal Units, Switches, Routers and various other puppies cool all year round: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These air conditioners are about 7 feet tall and really shift serious air within this room.


The two dark grey units pictured here in the middle are huge 5Kw fully managed UPS or Uninterruptible Power Supplies. They may also act as further protection from power surges or brown outs. At about 4 feet high, no-one will steal these babies, they probably weigh more than both of us combined. Sexy though, very sexy.



At the end of the day this job was about successfully creating a 2Mb virtual Private Network connection possible between the client site at a local Power Generation Facility and the power generation technogods of cyberspace in Sydney. I never ask where they are exactly, but they speak to me via mobile phone when they wish to communicate -much like ET did in the movie.



And this folks, is what makes it all possible. The very thing that allows you to see this post in all of its heavenly beigeness. If I added a little green, I could make it a little like the Matrix...
