RE: Slightly OT - surplus networking kit at bargain prices

Martin, can I get that list as well?
You say that it's attached to this mail, but I got no attachment. Maybe
yahoo strips out attachments?
Cheers,
Nik

  Hi Richard,

  Thanks, dependign on the size of your company, this may be rather a
lot
  of kit, though my client will almost certainly be happy to sell it
off
  in pieces.  A provisional list of equipment is attached, we are
in the
  decommissioning process at the moment so the quantities may
change
slightly.

  The equipment is around 110 - 120 Nortel Centillion 5000BH
chassis.
  This is a large 14 slot rackmount chassis with hot swappable
cards.  The
  boxes run ATM between them and have sophisticated
routing/re-routing
  capabilities able to redirect traffic in the event of line or
equipment
  failure. They would typically have a number of cards with RJ45
  connectors for users and servers, with fibre cards for uplinks to
other
  boxes. They can also handle some of the strange protocols like
OSI,
  DECNet, and others.

  All of the equipment is here in the UK, it is in perfect working
order
  (still running a major corporate network on it  - around 15000
users
  plus all corporate and customer systems - pending the migration to
new
  Cisco kit), and will be removed and packed by our engineers. Most of
the
  chassis have a full set of redundant power supplies, the rest have
2
  PSUs, and most are arranged as two switches in one chassis, with
at
  least two uplink cards and an average of around 9 10Mb or 100Mb
line
  cards per box.  There is also a quantity of smaller kit,
Baystack
  450T-24 switches mostly, as well as some odds and ends of small
routers
etc.

  Hope this helps, let me know if you need more info. If you need a
good
  Project Manager (I am one of those) or an excellent cabling
company
  (Yes, we have one of those too) for your next phase of expansion,
let me
  know :-)

  Regards
  Martin
