+1 Rockin two IBM Bladecenters H chassis and AR bout filled their britches when the bill came across. :) next time dont tell me order what you need to make it happen ;P Keep in mind that SQL now license per core and the enterprise with special pricing from microsoft is around 6k if i remember correct. Thats only one…
Infrastructure, routing, external outage...dumbass cutting out the junction box for copper to sell only to find out its fiber inside when they burn the insulation off :P (yeah its happened around here before) All possible :)
Gotta love it, sets the bar really high. :( Offsite backups are a requirement i believe for any customer oriented information at least. But not a full failover.
In MMO terms a single server is most likely a cluster of servers or partitioned out bladecenters with Virtual servers. Lot of the times these are leased from server farms.
