Scale-up vs. scale-out: What's the future?
1.  What is the future of the data center, scale-up or scale-out?
  Scale-up, the use of fewer, more powerful servers such as mainframes and other enterprise machines.
  Scale-out, the use of more, not-as-powerful servers such as 1-way and 2-way machines.
  Both. Some workloads in the data center will always require mainframes and Unix servers, while others will be handled by smaller Wintel machines.
