No, my network isn't.. 3 desktops, 3 laptops, and 2 older tablets in special service. We do have 28 servers (not including VMware), but that's mostly to have the resources to develop and certify enterprise capable code. We have a full RDS Farm (3 farm groups, 5 servers total), a web farm infrastructure (1 farm manager, 1 Code Management, and 4 Code Delivery servers), a CA infrastructure, an email content filter gateway fronting Exchange 2013 CAS and MBX servers, in addition to file/print, backup, media delivery and other infrastructure platforms. 3 servers are dedicated to pure development - a W2003 host, a Linux based load balancer, and a Linux based virtual iSCSI SAN, which is used when we test virtualized Windows clusters. The 2K3 server will soon be replaced with a 2K8 server - this is used for older platform certification.

I have deployed some of our software, such as our login script, log management service, WUS management service, and software deployment system to some fairly large organizations, including Liberty Travel (Flight Centre USA), CIT Group, the Federal Reserve, and Christian Dior. Liberty Travel, described in my earlier post, was probably the most complex as they had 435 departments across many retail locations around the US and two central office sites. They had 435 BAT files coupled with 435 Kix scripts for basic login, plus a handful of other BAT and EXE utilities. This was reduced to a single script with a single configuration file and is still in use (code unchanged) since 2007.

Having an infrastructure that mirrors (on a smaller scale) the type found in larger organizations allows us to test code in situations that a smaller environment could not provide.
