OK,,,
I hear ya,,
Just wondering though why there isn't there any apparent redundancy with those boxes? You would think that there would be at least one other real or virtual box replicating in the event the "primary" decides to take a crap.
I know this whole crypto thing is in its infancy but in any business that wholly relies on any IT infrastructure that the appropriate steps would be taken to ensure everything from PCI, PI or even any HIPAA data would be secure and redundant. Any cc info , names, addresses, phones And data of those types is stored or does inhabit those servers.
In our data-center we have moved into VM big time along with that are Petas of DASDI storage,,the primary servers are chopped up into as many as 10 or more smaller virtual boxes, but those pigs are expensive. The majority are in the 35 - 40 thousand dollar range. Then figure in licensing,,seats,,, and whatever else they can charge you for and it can be prohibitively expensive. Then there are the "exclusives" like OLS and good ole Stratus,,, I remember Stratus was in the $160000. a month in "service" but that was up 99.99999%. Very rarely did that have any down except for those services that feed it or carry it.
Oh well ,,,Just chatting,,and again thx for the replies
