The seriously on-the-cheap approach is to run a few virtual servers on
hardware slightly better than one of the individual servers would need.
You are much less likely to kill the host (expecially something like
ESXi) to the point where you can't connect, and more likely to be able
to afford the out-of-band management where you need it since you have
fewer boxes.
