Many business start-ups that I speak to are either one or two person micro-businesses, often their IT consists of a personal laptop, upon which is stored their entire company. Accounts, customer databases, marketing collateral, email, everything, all on that one fragile, vulnerable laptop hard drive...

A sysadmin unpacked the server for this website from its box, installed an operating system, patched it for security, made sure the power and air conditioning was working in the server room, monitored it for stability, set up the software, and kept backups in case anything went wrong.
