Now as we have enough of money to perform better, we can start planning.
First of all, for 24/7 operation we'd need to have 9 fully qualified system administrators ( for every 8h timeslot with redundancy, leave/ sick coverage, etc) (payroll costs ~100,000$ each).
Of course as these guys would be working on site operations, they'd not have any time for development. So we need >100 guys outsourced to India (payroll costs ~1000$ each).
