Datacenter talk

If there is was still any doubt that Datacenter costs are going to exceed the acquisition of the commodity server, then check out this article by Kenneth G. Brill at the Uptime Institute

“Annual facility costs will exceed the cost of a "cheap" server in two years in the best case scenario, or 14 months in the worst.”

and

“Spending $2,500 on a server really means spending between $8,300 and $15,400 in facility capital to provide the necessary space for housing the server and powering it.“
