The Dreamhost guys followed Cisco’s doc on upgrading their router power supplies and soon found themselves in a spiral of upgrades that lead to them purchasing a ton of equipment in order to overcompensate for network issues. Unfortunately, this is the common set of plays that we see every network hardware vendor run. You run into a problem, deploy the expert swat team ($$$). If that doesn’t work throw a ton of hardware at the problem and hope it goes away. Both these plays only benefit the hardware vendor.
