Office Network Closet Setup Best Practices for NYC Businesses
We walked into a 35-person law firm in Midtown last year and found their entire network closet setup in NYC crammed into a janitor’s closet — literally sharing space with mops and a utility sink. The patch panel had no labels. Three cables ran across the floor because the rack had no more room. The switch sat on a shelf above a bucket of cleaning supplies, and the UPS had never been tested. The network worked, barely. Then the building’s HVAC went down for a weekend in August and the switch hit 74 degrees Celsius and shut off. Three days of downtime for 35 employees, all traced back to a closet that nobody ever set up properly.
