The misjudgment consisted in choosing edge servers initially. This facility should have been implemented on a mainframe, where adequate availability is a given.
Complaints about and expectations for the availability of the IBM-Support portal have always been unrealistic. They are extrapolations from the complainers' mainframe experience that are inappropriate to a different, much more fragile environment, one in which failures, reboots, and frequent 'quiescences' for maintenance are the norm.
