A DAY in the LIFE of the DATA CENTRE | NETWORK TOUR with ASH & JAMES!

This is why I love YouTube. I wanted to see the inside of a data center, and this video was delivered to me from halfway across the world. Great content guys!

Would like to see a video of you guy's discussing your certifications and which ones you consider most valuable when trying to get into a DC work environment. Cheers from the US!

[JamesBarnes-xdbj]

You guys are AWSOME! I just got an offer from a tech giant and I am super excited to be doing the type of work that Ash and James are doing. Keep up the great videos. It’s AWSOME that the company allows you to do these informational videos.I have learned A TON watching you gents operate in your day to day. I hope my colleagues are as cool as you guys

[Fishbait]

Wooh! I'm famous. Thanks guys. Very informative.

[abdoumo]

9:56 - Those dishes are VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) terminals. They are either Ka-band, Ku-band, or C-band).

Thanks for sharing this video. I am from Brazil and I work at an ISP, it is a pleasure to see how you are doing your work.

1 - Use water falls on fibers to reduce bend radius
2 - Do you use labels on cables or other method of tracking?
3 - Use correct cable length, don't drop your customers with 5m slack
4 - Use separate trays for fibers and coppers
5 - Apply in rack cable management instead of looping fibers
6 - Don't put the tile lifter on top of important

My goodness i love a good small harmless office prank. Keeps spirits alive in the night shift where it can get a bit dull. Imma try one of these when I get my job 😂😂

Lovely vídeo, i've been working offshore for american datacenters over 14 years, and this is the first time im able to see how cables are routed to a dc. Cheers from Mérida yucatan, México.

I had no idea how freakin loud a DC is! You're not kidding with them earplugs, that must be a godsent in there.

[ardentdfender]

“So what did you do today?”
I went on a tour of a Massive Data Center in England.
“How did you do that?”
I did it via YouTube!

[jamesforbes]

I've enjoyed watching the videos of your team at work and the workings of the NOC. Ash is a very good presenter in those videos, but it was nice to see him give the lead to James in this one who did a great job explaining how the ISP to network cableing work. Cheers to both of you from Oklahoma.

Thanks for providing info on the technical side of running a DC. Keep up the good work.

[JarrydS]

Bit random but I'm a network engineer for a DC in Darwin (northern territory) Australia. We have a customer doing some satellite connectivity for one of their racks. You mentioned one of your satellite dishes is used for connectivity into Australia, you wouldn't happen to know if it's somewhere in Darwin? If it is, hi from us :) haha

[lordred]

Worked in these across northern Europe for all UK fixed and mobile providers.

[damienturner]

Great video guys!!, you should have a "best looking cabinet" video!

[dstarfire]

I'm rather curious how you guys do the security planning/analysis for one of these videos. A large part of any hacking attempt is reconnaissance, and as a datacenter, you're a high-value target.
Obviously, you've got a competent security team helping with production (can't imagine management would approve these videos without that). Are there some the things you do (for security) that would never occur to people who aren't in IT?

[mahmoudabozied]

ITs like the one that youtube uses to handel all amount of loads, nice showcast with black hannger spliter and the manage cables.

[adebisiabdulazeezfunsho]

So in short, this basically serves as your meet-me room right. Nice i love it.
