They were required for GDPS, so that's where you'd see a lot of
them. I
think you're onto something, though. My suspicion is that STP will
be more
popular since it's an integral feature rather than "yet another
box." That
idea runs counter to Radoslaw's basic point that more boxen is no
big deal.
But it's a very real phenomenon, at least psychologically.
Timothy:
This a tangent issue but it really shows that PC weenies are finally
coming to grips (or not) with power issues with the server farms.
A few weeks ago in one of the trade mags there was an article
(California?) where the power company actually told a place that they
were at the limit for power usage and they would not let them add any
more servers PERIOD.
I regret not having saved the article now as it is extremely (albeit
off on a different issue per se) interesting IMO.
