TechWise TV Tours Cisco's Allen, Texas Data Center

Last week Cisco released a really nice TechWise TV tour of their new Allen, Texas data center. First of all - Kudos to Cisco for explaining this level of detail about their new designs. Although much of what they showcase as cutting edge design methods are just that - they are things I've seen recently pop up in a number of other presentations about new data centers being built by Colo's, REIT's, etc.

Extra credit to Cisco for making it a 720p video :)

I always notice the brands used within the data center, and as such, here is what I saw in their video:

• Panduit cabinet infrastructure products
• Eaton power equipment
• Omni-ID products used for RFID tracking of equipment
• Trane Chillers
• Dolphin Water Care - water treatment
• EuroDiesel

They have created this interactive tour as well to walk through the various components of the data center.
