        Are the zones monitored by independent NOCs, and operated by
        completely diverse NOC engineers so the same finger-fumble or
        automated provisioning tool can't be applied to configs in both
        locations?<br>
        <br>
        I've seen someone press 'commit' to a router config script with
        a typo  that proceeded to take down approx. 45 routers across
        20-something countries. Each country was completely independent
        at the infrastructure level then, too.<br>
        <br>
        +1 What Mark said above. If your multiple diverse services stem
        ultimately from the same boardroom table, you aren't diverse.<br>
