This is the one that discusses scalability, price, performance,
failover, power consumption, hardware components, etc.

Bottom line was that the large server with SAN had $1877K hardware costs
while the application-partitioned cluster had $110K hardware costs --
but it's apples-to-oranges since they were deployed in different years.

Still a big advantage for the small systems.
