    Considering buying replacement switch, looking at £5k minimum cost

    #2
    Do what Google does and use consumer grade hardware. A few cheap switches daisy-chained on baking trays will do.
    Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

      But with your earnings that should be no problem?

        The first switches for SKA were just £50.

            Thats fine for google as it doesn't really matter if a few machines go offline, the rest can pick up the slack until the switch is replaced. I don't think SKA is at that level of hardware redundancy yet.

                    Move it into the cloud so you're no longer responsible for any hardware.
