Well, it could affect the equipment required, floor space, real estate cost, log retention, bandwidth requirements, equipment addressing, procedures, training, trouble desk, employee count and, probably, more.

Compliance with differing data privacy and retention laws are not the least of these. On Jan 29, 2008, at 3:46 PM, <michael.dillon@bt.com> <michael.dillon@bt.com> wrote:
