Hmmm, Interesting, but that article forgot point 6 - I fill it in for you:
It is 'greener' and 'cheaper' to run a mainframe comparing with a
'server-farm'. Think, one CEC can run multiple Linux virtual machines, whereas
you need a floor full of servers ('server-farm') which guzzle electricity in
terms of power and air-conditioning.
