<p dir="ltr">Hello Roberto,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Please tell me the first question is &quot;pun intended&quot; ;-) As to the second; well I understand it&#39;s prudent to have backup of network services/data but what does having a backup of over 100 tons of hardware mean? I think it definitely will mean a lot of redundancy resulting to a waste of resources as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As I note from the announcement[1], looks like a number of the devices has been replaced. The remote hubs will be the major hit. I can imagine the ICANN tech are working around the logistics.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards<br>
