There is one thing you can do: ask your technical team leader what exactly does
he or
she want to accomplish by doing that? From a point of view of EMC salesperson,
this is
very useful excercise indeed, because he can sell you faster hardware just in
time to get
a Christmas bonus. I somehow doubt that motives for such a drastic action
include sheer
kindness that the project involves helping the poor EMC sales force rebuild
their swimming
pools.
