The fellow is clearly not a believer in the laws of thermdynamics! He
says:
"Financial math makes it easy. You can pay a lot of money to run many
instances of an operating system on a lot of different servers, or you
can pay a lot less to run multiple operating system instances on a few
of them.
You save on hardware, you save on management costs, heck, you even save
on your electrical bill. That last one, by the way, is not small
potatoes when you add in not just the power for the machines, but the
cost of the air-conditioning to keep them happy"
Perhaps perpetual motion is next.
