Avaya Moved
Part of the move of the Call Center was relocation an Avaya Media Gateway. We were running on two, but the number of telephone lines could easily be handled by one; so we did. Which freed up the second box to be used at the new location.
I had told people that the box was 27" wide by 22" deep by 19" tall and weighs about 40 pounds. When they delivered my 48 reels (about 80 pounds each) they sent ONE person. So naturally to move this one small box they sent three:
I show them the box, they wheel it out, I drive over to the new location to let them in. They pull up in a rather large van. Yep, a 20 footer, nearly empty. Madness? Overkill? Possibly. However without that box the move doesn't happen and the powers that be are doing everything they can to be sure that the box is not damaged in transit. While I could have rigged a rope harness and carried it over by myself I can understand their going crazy to make absolutely sure it arrives safely.
And it does:
