If redundancy is your friend, testing will be your BFF (best friend forever).

It’s also very important that you should be a very well-informed server patch manager. Go out of the box and don’t rely ONLY on your manufacturer or provider’s updates, newsletters, emails, phone calls, etc. You should also read blogs about server patch management, participate to forums and online communities, write articles, attend conferences, and the likes.
