I discovered this interesting article on distributed servers from the
zjournal magazine:
http://zjournal.com/index.cfm?section=article&aid=1218
I'm not sure if you have to register to read it.
A short quote from the article:
"Scale-out distributed servers are like the crack-cocaine of the IT systems
business- highly addictive and extremely damaging. Once an enterprise gets
hooked on this potent drug, it has proven extremely hard to wean the
corporate addicts off! Despite the devastating consequences, they reached
for their next x86/x64 and UNIX scale-out server fix for every new workload
that arose"
