  1. Isnt this a redundant concept but ? by q-soe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I like the idea but i was sitting here wondering that in this day of supposedly low cost bandsidth why would you go to the cost of building huge co-los in destruction proof environments ?

    There is a secure need for co-lo fdacilites etc but why not just build a mirrod system with 4-5 sites carrying the data - a sort of broadband raid, this would cut down the need for these facilites.

    Now this is only an idea and it might have a million logical reasons behind it but would it not be cheaper that concrete bunkers and dedicated power systems and such ? (i am asking would it or not?)

    Or is it that clients like a cool ultra secure bunker - it makes them feel good and powerfull ?

    Any thoughts?
