Building better infrastructure for your networks

I'm planning an article looking at how company networks evolve from a single computer into multi-site networks with tens if not hundreds of thousands of devices connected. While looking at that I was writing about redundancy in network design. This reminded me of a classic mistake in network design which is what I am going to here. It doesn't matter how well designed your network is if it's all plugged into a single 13A socket. This article therefore looks at network design in a wider sense and how the infrastructure should best support it.
