Our hardware order has finally been placed! It’s been a good solid month of price competition, quote modification, and lease arrangements. As of about an hour ago the purchase orders have been issued from our leasing companies to our hardware vendors. The bulk of our hardware order is being placed through CDW thanks to their cut-rate pricing. The rest of our hardware is a couple of Cisco 6506s from Recurrent, a Cisco reseller based out of Santa Clara.

Dirk & I are heading out to Seattle from January 8th -> January 15th, so if anybody would like to get together during that period, let us know. We’ll be working furiously racking hardware, running cables, and building our new network, but we’re trying to set our evenings aside for dinners with friends, colleagues & customers, plus we’re going to spend Saturday & Sunday exploring if we make enough progress.
