LTurner3692 Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Looks good! Also good to hear someone being able to future proof where possible! im sure most of us are jealous of how nice your network now is! Shame how much you had to go through to get there!
Andrew_C Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 Pic 6 - please tell me that isn't the "drama studio"...?
DSapseid Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Pic 6 - please tell me that isn't the "drama studio"...? No that is the main hall. Huge 4m wide screen with an Intel NUC hidden in a cupboard with a wireless keyboard with trackpad for SLT for assemblies every morning.
Popular Post DSapseid Posted April 30, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Where are the server room pics! Here you go! The cabling is so neat and tidy it appeases my OCD, my edge cabs are all like this as well. Dont know why they put a window in the server room??? I have a blind on order as at night it must look like a rave is going on in that room. excuse the images being round the wrong way, cant work out how to fix it! Edited April 30, 2019 by DSapseid 8
FishCustard Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 No that is the main hall. Huge 4m wide screen with an Intel NUC hidden in a cupboard with a wireless keyboard with trackpad for SLT for assemblies every morning. Excellent, neat solution. Expect people to still email "can I have a laptop / where's the assembly laptop I need it now pls!!!!" despite telling them 42 times.

Already had it with an external visitor wanting to see the slideshow notes on her powerpoint! 1
mavhc Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Aircon + security = no windows. Probably didn't think about computers while they were using computers to design the building

DSapseid Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 The window isn't even one that can open its just there for effect! Once the blind is up it will never be opened unless im in there for any prolonged period and want to look at the cricket field opposite! 1
Ditto Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Out of interest, do you have many cloud based systems that you would have preferred to keep in house. With this setup, keeping it all local looks very inviting.
PotNoodleTech Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 We are in!! We are now on day 6 of being in the new school and OFSTED have decided to grace us with their presence for 2 days as well!! Congrats mate! Looks lovely. Jealous here! How nice of Ofsted.
DSapseid Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Out of interest, do you have many cloud based systems that you would have preferred to keep in house. With this setup, keeping it all local looks very inviting. Only G-Suite & O365 cloud based really, Finance software is as well (MAT Provided). Then of course cloud backup! We had issues here getting broadband in after the fire so were without a proper leased line for 6 months (thanks BT Openreach) so if stuff was cloud based it would have been a nightmare!! I have kept everything in house at the minute still as we have really good infrastructure with full POE+ on every port in the school and diverse fiber routes from every edge cab to the main server room. Moving forward i am migrating staff from O365 to G-Suite and may look to move some of the shared areas to Team Drives.

Moving forward i am migrating staff from O365 to G-Suite and may look to move some of the shared areas to Team Drives. Woo, the joys of a newbuild! We had an audit carried out recently suggesting lots of actions to take including diverse cable routing to all cabs. We laughed, the cost of that would have been immense - 100+ year old buildings, an insane amount of wall trunking already and routing cables currently is a nightmare even for the most seasoned of infrastructure engineers! That's a lovely level of resiliency though, great peace of mind!
mavhc Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Old world: I have a nice house in the country New world: I have a terrible internet speeds Old world: Lovely old building, built to last New world: Wifi doesn't work, can't drill through 30cm stone walls all the time for cables
crc-ict Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 A window, in a server room! Unheard of! I've got one. Mine opens too. Permanently closed off with blinds of course.
Jaan Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I've got one. Mine opens too. Permanently closed off with blinds of course. Same here, we how have a external shutter fitted with it closed permanently.
IrritableTech Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Dont know why they put a window in the server room??? Your architect will have looked at it from the outside and decided a missing window would look odd I'm guessing. Hope it isn't south facing?!
Norphy Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Your architect will have looked at it from the outside and decided a missing window would look odd I'm guessing. Hope it isn't south facing?! More likely that the exterior of the building was designed before they decided what the interior would look like. 1

It is south facing! Gets the sun all day. Great design!! Hopefully the AC in there is up to the job in the summer!
Garacesh Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 We are now on day 6 of being in the new school and OFSTED have decided to grace us with their presence for 2 days as well!! Ooof.. Day 6 and OFSTED? Bit of a d:censored:k move! The new build looks fantastic though. Well. It did. The kids have been there for a week. I'm sure it's less photogenic now
