      @nerdydad said in Redundant Network Connections:

      We do have dual-wan connections, but we're also connecting 3 locations together. If we only had one connection connecting all 3 locations together, and one connection died, then that location (more than likely to be a plant) will be spending the day without any productivity because they wouldn't have access to the resources that they need. We're talking 250 people working at any one time at at least $11/hr.
      11x250=$2750/hr (along with the added value they make to the company) versus $100-600/month for the extra WAN connection. It only makes sense for us to have the availability here to keep people working.

      The City (another job I had) had every offsite pointing via Dish to Cityhall just to get internet. Some were 3-4 jumps. Single point of failure for the entire City. Every electrical storm took our 25% of our dishes.

      Wow, that is a rather long time.

      Yup, parts were very hard to get and getting the server physically moved before diagnostics could begin ate huge amounts of time up. Cost of speeding things up would have been huge - replacing gear instead of repairing it. But since the vendor could not diagnose the issue with the hardware (their error messages were ones that they did not have documented) it complicated things greatly.

      Most storage devices in this range also lack the support options that enterprise servers do.

      This sentence is the third italicized block of text seems odd.

      Fixed, thanks.

      Just realized that this topic actually was missing the tags! Ugh, no wonder if rarely comes up in searches. Fixed, finally.
