The last 3 weeks I’ve spent my time in Virginia, specifically in one of the Equinix datacenters in Ashburn. I was there to help build out a datacenter. When we arrived it was a box galore everywhere (165 HP DL365s, 50 Cisco 3750s, 30 Cisco 2960s, 2 Cisco 6500s) and the accompanying accessories for everything (supervisor cards, memory, the works). The racks and pdus had been setup, nothing else had. So over the course of 3 weeks we basically unboxed, racked, cabled and did basic configuration on everything. Hindsight is a bitch and the fact that pictures were frowned upon made it difficult to make a photo journey. However I do have 6 photos that represent what has been completed in the end.

All in all a very good trip. Got to see some of Washington DC too. WSDOT could truly learn something from VADOT concerning the implementation of roads, highways and what not.
