You should be able to build a lot of redunandcy into your network on $4 million a month, but that would eat into margins, wouldn't it?

- walrus01 10y agoShit, I can build a lot of redundancy with four used/grey market $17,000/piece juniper mx960, $20,000 for rectifiers/battery... It's not THAT costly relative to $4m/mo even if your router requirements are as beastly as an asr9910 with 3rd gen line cards.
- wmf 10y agoIn networking, redundancy means two identical boxes with identical bugs.
- X-Istence 10y agoThere are very few companies that are willing to purchase network gear from two different vendors and run two completely different network stacks. Management would be a huge pain in the ass... but it would be doable.
- walrus01 10y agoWe are a large regional ASN in a tech heavy market and run 3 different vendors of DWDM platform and both Cisco and juniper in the IP core. Diversity is good.
