Perhaps this is a loaded question, but what causes so many failures?
Purely anecdotal: I have one local server in our call center that has
been sitting quietly on a shelf unattended since early 1998. Never so
much as a hiccup until the day I turned it off and it never came back
on. 8 years from a cheap system built from crappy parts from a seedy
and long since gone Tempe vendor.
Is crappy hardware really brand specific or is it just the draw of the
short straw?
