ILUG @ NetStandard

[Brian Kelsay]

The NetStandard tour was cool and Andrew ansered all my questions.   They
have a really neat setup there.  It was interesting to see their network
diagram and see how they are a part of the internet backbone.   I don't
think I've ever seen a Big Iron router like the one they have.   It looks
like they thought of security and redundancy from the beginning rather than
bolting it on after a major failure.   That takes some planning.   One other
note, did anyone else think it was cool when the door to the data center
slid open and the recorded voice said "Access Granted" or something like
that.   Very cool.
