I think we have about a dozen webservers (4 CPU I think) and 5 8-CPU
app servers and an 8 CPU db server. Apache / CFMX Enterprise / Oracle
on Solaris end-to-end with Cisco hardware load balancers, multi-level
firewalls etc etc etc.

We're close to a half-a-billion dollar a year company doing business
globally. Our website is ranked inside the top 200 most trafficked
sites in the world. We have close to fifty distinct ColdFusion
applications on macromedia.com and about 40,000+ static HTML pages as
well. Our web team - including project managers, designers,
producters, programmers, QA etc - is about seventy full-time staff. A
significant portion of that revenue comes from our website, through
our global online stores, powered by ColdFusion.

So, yeah, I guess we are analagous to a "multinational shipping company"...
