We've been fairly against centralizing functions, even=20
though marketing scripts suggest it is worth doing.
Not security-related per se, but for smaller PoP's, we'll=20
collapse P/PE functions into a single box. As others have=20
mentioned, this makes sense when scale is small.
But on a large scale, we've not been one to buy into multi-
chassis-type arrangements. With boxes getting smaller and=20
more powerful due to Ethernet being the implicitly agreed-
upon medium, it's still cheaper (and more resilient) to buy=20
smaller boxes and distribute services than take one large=20
one and stick them all in there.
I'm hoping the OP can draw a parallel for their own=20
situation, if this is useful.
Cheers,
