We have over 40 servers (that I know of) at multiple facilities on multiple backbones running five different operating systems with multiple versions. We have several switches and routers. We have firewalls. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't discover new security holes and we are at constant war with hackers. Even the routers have security holes.

I am planning on buying parts for another six more servers this week so we'll have them as soon as I get back from Miami. I build most of them myself, and have finger scars and arctic silver stains to prove it.

There is NO way I could manage these things. We have a full time sysadmin and he's overworked. This is NOT an easy business. And there's no way we'd put up with a second rate host.
