Pay for the best you can afford, which also includes risk management.
Which costs more?
The outage?
The cost to prevent that outage?
PS: I always have gone with at least 2 CF's in production.
I do not disagree with what you said, but they,ve got one single CEC
and one of the questions was whether they'd need two *ICFs*.
While I agree that two CF partitions are a must as soon as you go
multi-CEC, I don't see much benefit in having two CF partitions on
a single CEC.
ICF processors is another point to discuss. What is the better choice,
two ICFs and no more spare or one ICF and one spare?
Is it a real choice ?
I mean is it possible to get rid of spare and use that CP for other
purposes ?
BTW: AFAIK spare CP can replace any other one (GP, IFL, ICF etc.) and it
is transparent to the OS (or CFCC).
