Comment on Our Server’s Hard Drive is Dead. We didn’t have a backup.parent

I can understand with those numbers why you may think that. These numbers are generally per server and fit a small shop pretty well. We also work with many companies that have hundreds of servers, and the rate is multiplied by each server. I could have been clearer in my initial post.

Additionally, for clarification about your wage comment -- we pay above average US sysadmin wages, and just posted a job for our 7th full-time admin.

Well, that's a quite important detail you had omitted. If you start dividing salaries by the number of servers, all kinds of crazy numbers come up.
