I work for an IT company - specifically handling projects for migrations and integration of software. We install VMware everywhere - some really dense installations have 80+ VMs running on the hardware which means that the hardware is super beefy and attached to a SAN with N+1 redundancy on the ESXi side. This is for software development shops to develop software and perform regression analysis on each release and for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure clients who use thin clients where all computing work is performed on server infrastructure and the computer is more of a consumption device. We also do data recovery and have a bunch of cool toys to recovery from failed RAID arrays, Tapes or flash media; think of it as a mini On-Track shop.
Some of the most interesting work i've done is to write interfaces (for medical software of all things) to allow different programs that were never designed to talk to each other to exchange data. Also we play a fair bit with telephony, in fact we take care of a 24x7x365 call center with offices all over the country which can get interesting when things go sideways!
Sorry i think this is off topic for the OP; i have a fairly basic higher end desktop and a pretty worn out Dell Latitude laptop (wear and tear from being in and out of the bag all day) but nothing really all that fancy. I don't need that much to connect to the stuff i'm working on which is exponentially more powerful than my computer.
