UNCLASSIFIED Hi all,
Wanted some input on the maintenance contract vs. hot/luke warm/cold spares debate. What does your $work do, and is it value for money? If you run with spares, how much of your valuable sysadmin time is taken up when you have to fix something, presuming that your newer hardware is "slightly" different than your dead hardware and all the driver ramifications that that entails. If you do have maintenance contracts, do you have something like critical systems on 24x7 support and others on, say, 9x5 support, to try and reduce costs? Interested in all possible scenarios. Thankx, Greg. IMPORTANT: This email remains the property of the Department of Defence and is subject to the jurisdiction of section 70 of the Crimes Act 1914.
