How do these people answer questions like how to connect 10+ SATA and/or
SAS devices to their computers at the same time, how not to create a
bottleneck with software raid and how to eliminate every possible single
point of failure?

independent internet connections and emergency power generators standing
by that automatically take over seamlessly when something with their
used system or around it fails?
