Once you order them, it takes around four to eight weeks to get them. Once you get those servers, they can be deployed in a week or five days' time. How many people you need for maintenance depends upon the technical guys as well as the applications themselves. If you're maintaining, then you just need two or three guys. However, it would take more resources if you talk about connectivity and application maintenance and other parts. It also depends upon the number of servers we have installed.
