It's still really stressful because some of the circuits won't be ready on time, but I think we'll have enough for when we need to move.

The $500k of network equipment will be installed and configured within the next couple weeks, and the move date is less than two months away. Can't wait until all of this is set up and working.

Is this just a refresh of old hardware?

Well, this whole time the company has been relying on Meraki hardware because it's simple to deploy and set up as long as you have internet access. IMO, Meraki is fine for smaller networks like we have at other buildings, but it doesn't do everything that you'd want for a huge corporate network.

They also didn't have anyone who understood networking as well as I do before they hired me.

Yeah Meraki is amazing for small locations but not as the backbone for a corp network. The Meraki brand just isn't ready for that spotlight yet. Don't know if Cisco plans to keep it in it's own small pond or plans to release newer hardware that suits larger networks.

I'm currently working on a Data Center refresh at my new job. Bringing in new Cisco UCS chassis and new all flash storage. Just installed the flash storage yesterday. 50 SSDs = 120TB.
