I've seen Windows Cluster[f*ck] in our division (they experimented). The thing
was a total joke -- now if only it was funny.
There were major bugs, one of which was that only one user could be logged in
at a time and at time only on core among 40 would be used. Why have a cluster
when a dual-core PC would get the experiments done quicker?
Don't let the shill satisfy you with a one-liner (unless you snipped it). Ask
for proof. Demonstration of performance, uptime, and so on. These machines
cannot go up and down. This is indexing and QoS is very crucial (when was the
last time you saw Google down?).
