Well, you're either incredibly lucky or you have zero monitoring and failures have no impact.
I couldn't imagine having to manage 300 physical servers in a team of two. The hardware, OS and networking alone are more than a full time job with 24/7 oncall expectations. In fact that's why I don't do this anymore.
Pretty sure my current company had more failed hard drives this month than you all these years. I remember a shipment of servers once with more dead motherboards than that.
- nasalgoat 8y agoI bought all brand-new Dell blade servers so that's probably the main reason it was fine. IP-based kickstart boot, anaconda provisioning, it only took one person to monitor a server's setup. The point is that managing on-prem equipment is the easiest its ever been. When I started the ratio of admin to box was 1:50, now it's easily 1:300.
