Check out what my company: www.scalemp.com<http://www.scalemp.com/sol-prod.htm>does. It's exactly what you're intrigued about :-) (for example the SGI 1200).

We'd rather not spend that much money on hardware, but I'm intrigued - I though that ccNUMA is just a way for parallel computers with obscene amounts of CPU's or and/or memory to share memory among themselves - are you suggesting that it's practical to buy a few physically separate boxes and connect them together in a ccNUMA "array"? In other words, are you referring to what's described in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CcNUMA#NUMA_vs._cluster_computing ? Have you seen it done successfully?
