I'd guess you could do some kind of HA cluster underneath the apps.  Web 
and email are probably easy to add redundancy to, DB less so.

I'd have said outsource until you mention hardware.  So you might want 
to ask on a list with more sysadmins: SAGE, LOPSA, RMIUG.  BLUG if you 
want to know what the locals do but I don't know that you'd get much 
other than Tummy there.

Good luck.
