Hire good admins?  

What I have tried to do is be as consistent as possible.  Build machines
that are as close to identical as possible.  Use the same hardware in
machines, this makes it easier to stock spares, and reduces the number of
awful this doesn't work with that problems you have to deal with.  
Design the application so that the thing is split on logical boundries.
Make the sections look as much alike as possible.
Automate everything that can be possible automated.  O
