"Florida Hospital
"Florida Hospital is a massive faith-based non-profit with eight campuses in central Florida. They have over 2,000 beds, around 19,000 employees and treat over 1 million patients annually.

After purchasing the server, they went to IT and weren't well received. Their new server ended up living elsewhere, outside the official hospital network."
