you handle large databases with a lot of fast disk, and memory, this
gets you into the terabytes.
clustering/load balancing would not do for this, other than needing MORE
fast disk (N replicas require N times the disk system of one
database). clustering can provide active/slave failover for high
availability, or it can provide replicas for balancing read queries.
updates have to be made to all the replicas, so they wont be any faster
than a single server (in fact, will be slower due to the overhead of
replication
