I look after and maintain the whole lot, plus 2 other physical servers which are required due to needing access to PCIe cards. Storage wise we have two large NAS connected via multipath iSCSI to each host, we have at least 100TB of storage and more. The biggest headache is network cables because of the multipath IO to the SAN, each host has 8 network cables for the LAN connectivity and 8 for the SAN, so 16 cables in each host.

Seeing as I forgot about this thread, I thought I would provide an update.
We are just commencing a datacenter move of the above, but none of the existing kit is being retained. We've just setup the new kit, 3 hosts are replacing the four but we now have dual 8 core CPUs in each with 512GB ram in each box. So now if anything it will have loads of spare capacity. We also have SAN redundancy with the whole lot being mirrored in addition to the normal RAID setup.
