Hal, About 80% of the information on the servers is replaced in a matter of 14 days. If we loose the control at the TV station we are off air for many reasons beyond these servers. Our need for redundancy is to keep programming in the loop. If we had say a fire in the room, it would require many millions of dollars of equipment and months to rebuild. In the down time we would farm out the work and carry everything of fiber.

It was a good refresher since I haven't been involved with that level of availability since 1981 when I was involved in clustering Univac mainframes. Back to "all your eggs in one basket:" I still don't get the point or sagacity of putting the primary and backup in the same rack, let alone the same location. Any type of catastrophe is going to wipe everything out. Depending on site specifics, even some things that are less than catastrophic can result in total loss. How do you protect yourself when everything is in one place?
