Undersized network board allows chaos.​

Before:
–Cisco Gigabit Switch cooling fans sounded like coal mining operations
–Waterfall of patch cables of varying lengths
–Two switches due to lack of scalability
–Second switch is 100mbps
–Cisco 1000mbps switch not rack mounted due to excessive size
–Battery backup with multiple surge protectors powering everything from old telephone systems (Turned on, Not in production), Two internet modems (Turned on, Not in production), DVR, Monitor, Old speakers, Alarm system, etc.
–Cables ran into room in many locations
–Old telephone systems turned on utilizing power but not in production
–Closet extremely dirty
–Networking spread across two locations
–Current state = VERY difficult to troubleshoot issues.
–Server located on floor in second location
–UPS next to server on floor
–Plethora of +10ft cabling in spaghetti format connecting the small switch to the 3 server NICs, Ubiquiti WAP, Phone, PC, Firewall, & NAS.
–All devices shoved into a dirty corner on the floor along with other objects stored in this room from the office.

After

–Both rooms fully renovated to accomodate their purposes
–Old systems that were on and not in production tore out and trashed (Will save $$$ on power costs) 
–Old faulty switches removed and replaced with up-to-date 1000mbps 24 port switch providing an increase in network speeds and scalability. 
–High grade Orange boards installed
–All devices properly mounted and power sources audited, mounted, and installed for peak efficiency. 
–All cabling consolidated to one inlet from the attic
–All cabling punched down to patch paneling 
–Slim run patch cabling installed 
–All trash from shelving thrown away 
–Shelving cut in half and the alarm & DVR systems installed properly on one side 
–Shelving built in server room
–All cabling and devices properly mounted or placed on the shelving near the ceiling 
–Shelving was built to only accomodate the server \ networking devices. This is to prevent storage space from other sources. 
–All devices labeled, All PCs and printers labeled 
–All devices tested after project completion
