Re: Links between cabinets at commercial datacentre

Hi

Yes, but there isn't going to be a common practice for "data centers" as a whole. There's going to be a common practice for telco/fiber hotels, and a common practice for hosting centers, and a common practice for exchange points, and a common practice for shell&core, and so on. Each kind of data center drives toward its own common practice, and asking about common practices for "data centers" is therefore a nonquestion.

in this case, it's servers, and to be more specific, mainly webservers and some ASP type stuff. Not colo-routers/networks. --Rob
