Our company has only 56 people.  Just in the last 3 months we have
added 2 servers with 1.2TB each and a 16 slot LTO3 autoloader.  One is
a PE 2950 w/ 16GB ram, 2 x quad core Xeon, running VMware ESX Vi3 and
the other runs ESX Ranger Pro and Backup Exec.  Prior to this, our
largest server storage was about 300GB.  Ah the way small business can
grow.  :)

We have an open Web Developer position, and I believe we are looking
for 2 other tech related positions... I haven't been given the
official specs, when I do, I'll post them.
