Sadly they're moderating comments. I tweeted at the author, with links to
WMF Ganglia as backup, and he definitely doesn't believe me; maybe

Going by the Ganglia pages, actual Wikipedia has at lesat >2x the *RAM*
that their scenario has *disk*. Pretty fun. (If you're curious, Ganglia's
front page says it's tracking 14,744 cores on 988 hosts and 40T of RAM.
Their scenario has <20T disk. There may be additional capacity not in that
Ganglia setup, though it seemed to cover the obvious stuff.)
