We lost a whole install of Precise 7.1 due to a disk crashed which was ASSUMED to be mirrored and low and behold was not. I had to purge all the software directories, Precise users, etc. Symantec brought over the brand new 7.5 and we were totally up and running on 7 databases, collecting data, in about 2 hours. 7.5 is supposed to have all the patches. So far, so good.

Decent end-to-end monitoring (Web server, App Server, Java Server & Database Server). Still evaluating but so far, no huge red flags.
