Step 1: Don't buy a 1 terabyte hard drive for 180 bucks, instead spend 100x that much in analysis fees, consultant fees, and idle developer times.
Well, somebody profits. Isn't that good enough?
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!

Our development SQL cluster was a virtual for a while. Both nodes had 10Gb C: drives. One of them ran out of space during patching, I ended up compressing the Program Files folder. I recommend anyone that doesn't have ALOT of patience never uses SQL server on either a virtual server, or a box with a large part of its C: compressed! We had to run with a lack of space for a few months until some money was found but we now have a big shiney real cluster with 500Gb data drives on BOTH nodes. Woo ho!
While I think about it, how come only one server out of an active/active cluster ran out of space on C:. They both just had SQL server running, nothing extra, but one had 1.5Gb free with a 2Gb swap, the other had a 1Gb swap, a compressed program files folder and still only had less than 1Gb free. WTF?

Okay, but only after all of the bad spellers have been taken care of.

Office politics are rather sucky and sometimes hard to avoid. when I started my current job all of MIS was in turmoil. I'm talking World War 3. People went out of their way to stab others in the back to make themselves look better. ended with the entire reporting department being "Cleansed". My boss however was wonderful. He shielded us developers from a lot of the politics so weren't as effected.
Several years ago I was hired to "cleanse" an IT department for the same reasons. I spent a week walking around talking to people until I decided that all 30 of them had to go. I did keep a single tech support person for another month after that to keep things running while I hired the replacment department, including a new manager.
I imagine you had a lot of redundant staff if you were able to keep things going for a month with one person. Did you fire him after the month was over, too? If you did, you fired an utter demigod of IT (and in a heartless manner).
