I work at a subsidiary of a large healthcare company. My office is 100%
Cisco for Routers and Switches. We have a total of 30 routers and 8
switches. I work with 30 remote sites, a main office and separate Data
Center. I have attached a show version from one of our two 7505 core
routers. As you can see it has been up for over 4 years without any
problems. Our second has been up almost 2 years. My parent company is a
"Nortel" shop. They have to re-boot their core router about every 45-60
days or more offten and many of their switches on a regular basis. Granted,
they push a lot more data through their system, but still...... As
approximately 1/3 of my remote sites run across the Parent company WAN a
majority of the down time I am faced with is because of the "Nortel"
equipment.
I don't know if this will help, but it makes me feel better to vent a
little. Please call me if you want any more specifics.
