At least the one that I was in charge of before I retired last year.
Two sites, 3 main applications, 3 production clusters, 3 other ones
on a distant site for disaster tolerance, 3 test systems, one for
development, two clusters for system management, and two for system
testing/crash & burn activities. FC storage with asynchronous long
distance replication. Backups on shared robots. Lots of fun...
