<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks for the feedback Mitch, though you might have missed the part in my initial comment that I am moving to Calix, the request for some assistance was just that a request, whilst I sort out a move, plan it and
strategies it. Doing a wholesale change over on a 4+ year old network that I have inherited is not just expensive but hugeyly time consuming and requires serious man power, and cooperative customers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Purchasing extra hardware is an exercise in survivability as the former individual who looked after the network had neither hot or cold spares ever in its life time, so if I had an outage my customers would be off-line
for weeks if not months... I was avoiding having to air out my situation, but I'm a humble person, and most will understand the situation in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">I have no intent on keeping ubiquity, but I cannot just magically click my fingers and migrate them. I also have no clue who Zoom is and don't care, I only ever worry about my own patch unless I'm asked to care someone
else's.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you to all who reached out to me late last night, it is what I hoped for, and reminded of the original intent and purpose of this list ??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">That all sounds fare enough David, you can’t just go changing network configurations without any notice.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Ubiquity equipment is ok depending on usage I’ve got customers using it, but you should hunt down spare equipment I think that was the main point as you really shouldn’t have services down for more then a couple of hours.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Though for the DataCentre side of things Cisco and the more enterprise grade brands are the way to go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">But it sounds like your on top of it all anyway.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Though I think having multiple wholesale providers helps as well as that way you’re not dependent on one provider.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
