constant state of hardware expansion and rearchitecting, it is difficult to 
quantify the number of servers in use in each role.  There were over 400 
application servers, 15 dedicated cache servers for static content, over a 
petabyte of online SAN storage, and 8 outgoing mail servers.  Most of these 
servers, except for some one-off machines and the database servers previously 
mentioned, were running Solaris on the x86 platform.  Some of the one-off 
machines ran Solaris on the x86 platform while others ran Linux, primarily 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).  In addition to general systems administra-

My personal interests include spending time with my family, experimenting with 
computer hardware and software, surfing the Internet, listening to music, 
watching informative TV (Discovery Channel, A&E, History Channel, Science 
Channel, Military Channel, etc.), retrogaming, and participating in strategic 
games and simulations.
