This weekend was spent at work putting in the equipment for the new office network.  10 hours on Saturday and 12 hours on Sunday (not including the 1 hour travel each way) later and we have the new equipment installed and in place.

Aside from swapping out the kit, our entire rack or patching was stripped and re-patched neatly with new cables by a couple of colleagues (all 30U of it) whilst another colleague and I did the configuration bits.  All in all things went pretty well, even if the days were a little longer than we are used to.

Come Monday morning all of us were in early in anticipation of any problems, things which we might have missed etc.  Happily there were only one or two patching related issues which were easily sorted in minutes.  Coupled with that, we also had a positive report of network speeds following the work, so all is looking well.
