Well said. Uh, what are the 5 nines? Maybe I know but don't know that I know, ya know?
Dustin Owens,
Your analogy would work better if you said four leaking tires instead of four flat tires.
Your last paragraph is the argument I made to the Cisco folks. Phone system rarely goes down. Data network is ready to go at any moment.
Granted, if a PBX had to do the amount of work the typical data network handles, not just in terms of traffic but running so many disparate applications, it would choke too.
Perhaps this should be the new definition for Convergence:
A way for Cisco to make more money (which is fine btw) and forces Avaya, Nortel, et al to follow suit to keep up.
