You are adding a new rack to your data center, which will house two new blade servers and a new switch. The new servers will be used for virtualization.

The only space you have available in the data center is on the opposite side of the room from your existing rack, which already houses several servers, a switch, and a router. You plan to configure a trunk port on each switch and connect them with a straight$-$through UTP cable that will run across the floor of the data center.

To protect equipment from power failures, you also plan to install a UPS on the rack along with redundant power supplies for the server.

Will this configuration work?

answer

No$,$ you must implement the UPS and power supplies on the rack externally.

Yes, this configuration complies with data center best practices.

No$,$ you must use a cross$-$over cable to connect the two switches together.

No$,$ you should not run a cable across the data center floor.

No$,$ you should not use blade servers for virtualization.
