Lights-out data center

The last sata center I was associated with, about five years ago, was in the process of migrating a lot of the critical 24x7 apps back to the mainframe. The cool idea of a dedicated server, or bunch of servers, for each application led them down the path of no single neck to squeeze and a lot of staff on duty around the clock. The new code term was "lights out." I don't know if they achieved it.
