If you need 50 engineers to be able to manage 200ish servers, well, uh, you just don't have a ton of options.
Obviously not everyone falls into that second category but plenty do.

My IT team manages 750 servers in 5 co-locations + 200 end users + DBA responsibilities with 5. If we grow above 1000 we might need to hire a 6th.
