Companies DO NOT want to spend the extra money on backup equipment.
I work for the State and for years our IT department has been asking for money to have a couple of extra routers, switches, keyboards, and other equipment on hand for when something fails.
The management has denied these request, stating that the money can be used for other projects. When any peripherals die, then and only then will money be available to replace it.
I cannot tell you how many routers and switches we have lost, along with the number of lost productivity.
That is the problem. Management does NOT want to spend money, until there is problem.
I would rather spend money to prevent a problem.
