I have helped many clients move out of failing dedicated server providers and into SL. Though they may not have grown from 1 to 30 servers, they have enjoyed far fewer issues. This either has freed up their time to work on other projects or lets them eat dinner without a pager buzzing. When you couple good infrastructure with a good support team, you can really reap the benefits of outsourcing your IT. By putting someone into the right solution, you can eliminate many headaches. We've seen some of our clients go from having technical issues on a daily/weekly basis to having problems only 2-3 times a year. Too often, I think people inside the industry look at server counts as a measure of success. We have a client that has 1 server. I doubt they will ever need another one. However, since they have an IT solution that fits their needs, they have few issues. This has allowed them to grow their business in other areas. Financial success is just one measure.
