This is all solved, it just takes money and typically bringing in outside experts. Occasionally it will require changes to apps but most of the time it can be retrofit.

No it isn’t easy, but it’s also not an impossible task.

I think easy or hard are not even appropriate terms. As a business owner it is not easy or hard, it just costs an amount of money. If you pay enough money, you can get the result. You just have to decide how much a disaster costs and how much preventing a disaster costs to work out if it’s worth it.

It doesn't even require outside experts, just one or two competent sysadmins on staff.
