Hub room is ideally available in all organizations they may call with different names Network room, switch room, etc. The hub room basically will have racks and access switches and from these access switches all ODC LAN ports will be connected. As per your workspace design, you may have 1 hub room for the floor or for the wing or each ODC and sometimes it depends on customer requirements as they don’t want to share Hubroom with other Customers, especially in the services industry.
