True, but what we mean by "affordable" might change if you're buying 200 SB3s! Without speculating about the kind of price break Slim might give for this quantity, lets say $25k for the SBs - in which case $10k - $15k on the servers and storage might seem sensible - especially if you're looking for a robust environment (hotel guests hate seeing gadgets that don't work, its much worse than not having them at all). In which case, why not configure 3 or 4 Linux blades linked up to a shared storage infrastructure? And where is this hotel, and can we all get a discount?
