The Chief Operating Officer (COO) has tasked you to provide recommendations on the technologies within your environment that should be outsourced. You recommended the two technologies below:
Full support of all network devices including switches, firewalls, and routers

The COO gave you the green light to continue your research and has asked for additional information to support a final decision.

What is the relationship between core and edge systems?
What other factors would influence your recommendation?
How would your decision be different if you are overseeing a team of four technicians versus a larger team of fourteen?
