Servers are the brains of most corporations. The rooms and racks that house these servers are a critical part of a company's cabling infrastructure. Since servers, racks and the required cabling usually account for a large part of an IT manager's budget, they must be assured that this environment is built correctly.

Because the Bay Area is a hot bed of seismic activity, all server room equipment and racks must be seismically braced so that they can withstand the next shaker. All server racks that we install are braced in two ways. First we attach cable ladder to the tops of the racks and extend them to the wall. This helps stabilize the racks and keeps them from swaying. Secondly, we bore holes into the concrete and install sleeves and bolts at the bottom of the racks to keep them from shifting.

In many cases, servers are located separately from a company's wiring closet. In such instances tie cables, either copper or fiber, must be installed to provide connectivity between the network equipment, which provides the pipe to the end user, and the company's servers, which store the important information. We then label and test all connections.
