Hi,

Maths time:
1100 units, needing upgrades,
so after a debate extra hardware is bought and
if we randomise it at .75 x 11000 uk pounds sterling
the new TCO is
in the region of 8 and a half thousand pounds sterling
vs no hardware upgrades and spend the money on education
and guess what, learn about uptime :)

Just my euro zone two cents worth.
