Dear All,
We are building a large new hospital in Africa. It is a 16000m2 hospital comprising of 6 buildings each with 2 or 3 floors. We want to build our core network infrastructure using Mikrotik Routerboard Cloud Core Routers and Switches.
Biggest question of course is: when will the CCR1072-1G-8S+ be avaliable?
The idea is to have to main equipment rooms (one for redundancy) each fitted with one of those CCR1072-1G-8S+ routers. From each of these MER's we want to run fibre to the sub equipment rooms which will be based on more or less each floor. In total we want to have 2 MER's and 8 SER's so each SER will be connected to both MER's
In each SER we want to use a CRS226-24G-2S+RM switches (as it has two SPF+ cages) for the fibre links to the MER's. This way we will have a full 10GB redundant backbone.
The CRS226-24G-2S+RM will be connected to some access switches (most with POE) to connect to our Wireless AP's, VOIP Phones, IP Camera's and wired computers.
All in all we plan to have around 1000 copper points terminated in these 10 equipment rooms (Structured Cabling System, CAT 6A, F/FTP)
Most of the computers connected to this network will access our (browser based) in house hosted Hospital Management System.
Can any of the experts out there tell me if this setup would give me the performance I need? How would you advise to configure the routers for automatic failover?
Thanks for any feedback!
