So what you're saying is that if you required 5 nines, you'd jump all over the first vendor to come along, rather than shop around with those requirements?

I understand Bush's point. When you're looking for five nines, you'll pay whatever price it takes to get that ability, no matter how high it is. Then you may do a bit of price comparison among those choices, but I think factors such as support and expandability would still be more important than price.

Oh, I understand that. I have no problem with that line of thinking. It sounded to me, though, that wasn't what he was saying.

If it was, then I apologize.
