Boston GlobalNAPs (bsg-ma)


Outside the GlobalNAPs Boston, MA site (which is really in Quincy, MA).  I really enjoy the broken bricks holding up the window a/c units.
  

Gideon spotted this piece of fiber running into the building through what looks like a vent.  The other photo is the termination end of this fiber (I think it was Teledyne's, but I don't remember.)
 

This is GlobalNAPs' self-run SS7 network.

GlobalNAPs Nortel DMS-500 switch.
  

ICG Netcom's racks in the GlobalNAPs site.
  

Some random photos in the co-locate room.  The Cisco AS5800 in the photos is a Cisco SS7 testbed.  The refridgerator is fully stocked with free drinks and the freezer with free ice cream (make sure to tell any technicians to obey the blue sign...I'm not sure the beer is still there.)
         

Across the street is the Bell Atlantic/Nynex central office complete with generators (maybe we can find a way to "borrow" them in case of outage :)
