>As long as each is 10 miles NE/SW from each other....... Now, did I include Vector Analysis in this question?
My issue with this problem is the "it depends" clause. I know that there are hardware, telecom, power, etc... considerations. However, if I am trying to pursuade management that our current configuration of 4 miles is badness. How or what can I use to show that a larger distance is better. That is why I was looking for papers or some other documentation. A regional outage, be it hurricans, flooding, earthquakes, tornados, or structure collapses are all part of my equation to start with. Management is not concerned about those. Just the "why go farther?" question. But I cannot convince management to go 10, 20, 50 miles, just because it feels "right". They want hard facts. Any other concepts. (And I do appreciate all the thoughts so far. But I need something a little more concrete.)
