UPDATE: The winners have been announced!

 

Spring has sprung (at least, around these parts it has). We so enjoyed last year’s spring cleaning entries that we are resurrecting the contest this year.

 

The rules are simple: take a photo of your spring cleaning project and share it with us for a chance to win swag. We’d love to see before and after photos, but simply an after photo that sparks joy or an aspirational before photo will do!

 

For a little inspiration, below is one of our favorites from last year:

Oh we have a big one but don't think we'll be done by the 25th....

 

Maybe we'll be able to get the other one done - we're waiting on one piece of kit

 

Here is our March cleaning up spree, before and afters

So thrilled that the snow is melting, and beginning some spring cleaning. This is the first of several skids of old equipment heading to a new forever home.

Had the opportunity to get rid of old Netgear "Prosumer" switches and swap them out with new Meraki equipment! I came into this, and have slowly been affecting change where possible. I am proud to say our entire network is Meraki, even at our branch offices!

Hi there,

Building a reputation

Not quite the same as other folks spring cleaning photos.

 

I had to go to a "datacentre" belonging to one of the newspapers they owned and I should have known things were going badly when the site no longer existed and it had been moved to another site without notifying the parent group.

Apart from water cascading through the roof onto a production server (that was still powered up) the following photos shows some other spring cleaning that was required.

All of a sudden ethernet cables seemed unimportant

Some Nice cabinet tidying up going on around our regional office. 

 

Cabinet tidy completed then Meraki replaced the old kit. Topology is looking easier to understand now.

Kind of a big deal

I don't get to play around in wiring closets anymore. Part of me sorta misses that, but other parts of me don't 🙂

 

The only work thing I have on my list to clean up this Spring is this:
