[ale] Server Vendor Hardware

A number of people came back with good, local solutions.  The problem is
was have sites in Atlanta, California (3), Seattle (2), New York (2),
London, Tokyo, etc.  A total of 24 sites that would need the 4hour
service.  While I'd much rather pay a local vendor we like, that won't
help much when Seattle blows a motherboard, etc.

Life is not a destination, it's a journey.
  Microsoft produces 15 car pileups on the highway.
    Don't stop traffic to stand and gawk at the tragedy.
