Splitting our server room across 2 physical locations/comms rooms

Hi,

 

We have a server room in our head office that has a typical lock and key, aircon etc that holds the core of our Meraki network.

It holds 2 x mX100 in HA DR with a BT failover 1gb Leased line.  1 connection into each MX.

We then have 2 core switches MS425 stacked and lots of fibre connections to various parts of the building to distribution cabs with MS250's serving users/AP's and other devices.

We've now decided to look at splitting this across 2 locations in the building for DR.

1 MX in 2 physically separate locations, 1 of the core switches and then get BT to re-route the backup line to the new location.

My only question is presently the MS425's are stacked with 2 mini stacking cables (about 10cm long)!

Can we "stack" across a OM4 fibre run in a new location - dual runs?  So no stacking cable anymore but about a 150m fibre run between comms cabs...?

Yes.  The MS425s support flexible stacking.
