This is why I love RUclips. 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!
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 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.
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!
that would be amazing, my endgoal in networking and servers is eventually to be qualified for datacenter. I think discussing your certs and what education youve taken to get to where you are now and which books to buy and learn.
@@andersgjerlw9636 strong network background, customer service and ability to lift 20 kg + of equipment are the most important qualifications you need to work in a DC environment.
@@runforestrunfpv4354 well shit, my body doesn't have that capability . DC life will just be a dream. Look up connective tissue disease called EDS. FML. Deskjob for rest of my life.
@@nos676 you could be project manager for DC if you technical knowledge and exposure.
@@runforestrunfpv4354 oh, I'll have to look into that. I'm doing a degree in information technology systems administration and networking atm! DC is my dream, even if it's a desk job. I love anything advanced and technical, and love to learn.
Thanks for providing info on the technical side of running a DC. Keep up the good work.
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.
Great video guys!!, you should have a "best looking cabinet" video!
9:56 - Those dishes are VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) terminals. They are either Ka-band, Ku-band, or C-band).
You folks are awesome! So interesting. Thank you.
thanks for showing this, very interesting as I work in a DC so learning all the parts is really helpful to support my customers.. :) ! THANKS!!
ITs like the one that youtube uses to handel all amount of loads, nice showcast with black hannger spliter and the manage cables.
So in short, this basically serves as your meet-me room right. Nice i love it.
Awesome video guys, very informative!
Good video, thanks guys
Would love to see a video which explains how this all works. Very intriguing.
perfect video! Could you show me where is carrier's equipment, and where is DWDM ? I am very interested in how carrier equipment work together with other parts in DC.
Thanks for english subtitles!
Thanks for the information, You guys are very accurate......
“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 RUclips!
This is a medium to small data center btw. Yes it's high priority but if your talking about the amount of cabinet's, it's small.
They have lots of data floors though
Awesome. You rock guys!
Great Videos Team. Anyone watching in Aug 2020
Do you always splice standalone fibers from rack to rack?
Don't you have Meet Me Rooms or do you install some kind of fiber patch panels inside customer cages?
Thank you for the insight!
Wooh! I'm famous. Thanks guys. Very informative.
Thanks for the great update
Worked in these across northern Europe for all UK fixed and mobile providers.
You should made a video about hiring process and what are qualification and certificate
Yes, me too same question for them!
up
Yesssss
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 panels!!!!!
Hey guys! Great vids! Can you show/explain some of the software being used?
Wow! greetings from an Italian network analyst!
You were talking about a dark fibre network, are these fibres your own so you dug up everything and put them there or did you buy/rent single fibres from local networking companys that built and maintain the net in the roads?
I myself work in a CoLo DC, If i understand rightly did you say your customers connect straight to your carriers? In one of our DC's we go to a main Rack then connect to the carrier.
Hola Muchachos Saludos desde Colombia, Hi Guys Greetings from Colombia.
I like the keyboards and mouse that you guys are using.... Whats the model of them both. FYI as a fellow technician your videos are very informative.
Hi Team, can you show us PAC room and explain the cold asile and hot asile.
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
Hi UK, I have one question please. I see you have satellite dishes, for what purpose is it? Internet 100Gbps port? You sell traffic or buy? Not more expensive like an optical fiber connectivity? Thank you.
How do you deal with fire. Do you guys do fire prevention by limiting Oxygen or suppression with clean agents (fm200, novec1320)?
Wooo!!! I’m on the video
I'm curios if the satellite dishes are your own or if they are customer owned.
Wow. This is like my dreamjob. Hehe. Keep it up guys
Can you teach us splicing, and termination of fibre in optical patch panel.?
Well tidied MMR, nice job
What are your main used Routers/switches? Do you have/use Mikrotik Routers? Funfact i have a Mikrotik CloudRouter at home :D I like the many options that this Router gives me compared to a Speedport or AVM FritzBox which is mainly used in Germany.
I need the certificates for you guys and all the onlime trainings you acquired for the roles
Do you ever work at the DXC?
Looks like they've got some big genny's to run whatevers in there.
I had no idea how freakin loud a DC is! You're not kidding with them earplugs, that must be a godsent in there.
Lots of crack units and fans making lots of noise. Cooling is a “big deal” in the dc.
Gaming keyboards and mice ??? Hmmm I think I know what they do on “free time”
Can see that Razer naga lol
I would be on WoW 24/7 lol
No that is for playing Royale High!
Gaming peripherals and messing with coworkers stuff...most chill dc ive seen on yt
Hi guys, thank you for this video, i am from South Korea, in the East Asia. I'd love to see how this DC works.
Damn. I want to own a data centre like this
At 3:22 cabling under the floor looks unmanaged. Why are you using an outside plant enclosure under the floor. Don't you have an inside plant FEC system which fits on a wall. Easier to manage, better MTTR?
James is my hero :D
wow man! is awesome I have a question what is the salary for
Custodian Data Center?
I don't know if you are allowed to tell this but what kind of customers do you have and what kind of data do they store?
This is better than ASMR!
I hope these guys are successful.
Which certificate do I need in order to work in a datacenter??
James looks and reminds of of a James in my college PC Engineering class many a year ago 🤔
Very cool!
Awesome 😎
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?
Dion Starfire I was thinking the same thing.
I’m concerned for them as well.
Yeah they have African rebels hired mercenaries taking guard right outside. 😂
They didn't show anything that could be considered security sensitive though. The explanation of their network was also very superficial without giving away any actual details.
How much range salary as data center engineer in uk? In our country mostly only get paid range $800 - $1500 / month...
I take it you guys use active DWDM over your dark fiber networks?
How do you color-code your cables?
Where I can find something about good cable management on servers and data centers
Every data centre I have been in has been super strict on not having any recording equipment inside the halls.
Yes, pencil pushers just love that kind of security. Frees them up from having to understand what they're doing...
3:30 I see those hanging off of power poles around my city. I knew it was something to do with the internet, but didn't know exactly what, or what to search for to learn.
I hypothesized that they were 5g transmitters since in this area they all look shiny and new. "Splice trays" eh? Now I know what to Google, LOL.
Cheers guys, love the videos.
they are actually called fiber enclosure if you want to google it.
Would this DC work with all units over Wifi? ^v^
Very nice
I would give anything to be and work with you in such an environment.
Please can anyone tell me the data capacity of this data centre?
AND the x-video server?
You guys are the best. What is your title exactly and what do I have to do to do your job. Any Certifications or education? I'm an electrician but I'm thinking of taking my career another route
get experience in working in critical environment setting.
@@runforestrunfpv4354 can you give me an example of a critical environment setting?
@@TheArtOfConduitBending working in hospital plant room. Look for critical environment in your local job search add ad to gauge on the scope of work carried out. Mind since you are a sparkie your role in DC environment will not be customer facing like these techies. But instead monitoring cooling, mechanical and electrical systems.
All you need now is a Dwight Schrute in the office :P
Icrea says that cables have to be protected and don't be hang out
You kept talking about a dark fiber network. Can u do a video explaining that?
Dark fiber is just fiber lines that have been laid down but are unused.
Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to find out how one could make the lives of network engineer a lot easier ;)
Which is why I have two very simple questions:
1. As a network engineer, what are the 2 biggest issues you’re dealing with?
2. Regarding your profession, what would you wish for more than anything else?
Thanks so much in advance - looking forward to reading your answers!
Very cool
What about the sicurity of a DC envoirment ?
James is the best
Lol I love stuff like this
Wow. Technology has no end
nice video
Hi! I'm from Indonesia and i'm interested to work there. Can i work there?
Curious about the software you use for ticketing and monitoring!
Does anyone notice Ash ...... Looks like Toni Kroos in IT Networkings
3:25 Is the red tray of rat poison up to code standard?
8:41 - DWDM stands for Dynamic Wavelength Division Multiplexing.
💜💜💜
1:09 LMAOOOOO
x-connect redoes please !
#STRAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Imagine if the whole data centre was dedicated to hosting Laundry Simulator in Roblox 😀🌱
The small guy looks like he absolutely despises being exposed to natural light 🤣
You guys hiring?
Am I the only one curious about the white shirt at the start?
Your job is so funny. :p
The Office UK version.
UPS is Eaton ?
Eaton UPS are good. we use them for all our business customers (after having to many issues with APC)
The satellite pointed into the sky at australia is all the proof I need the earth is donut shaped.
