VM's? Sorry, we're doing very serious scientific computing - the couple or so VMs we had are going away. I mean, when, for example, one guy I support gets on a 48 core box, and proceeds to fire up an R job, and uses*all* of them.... Plus, we're running out of UPSs to stick them on to, and sockets to reach....
ok, so 3 x 48/64 core servers uses the same power as 6 x 4/8 core ? thats still major win.
