I believe these numbers of servers must have been approximated from a computer science put of view. In reality maybe only 1/400 of these servers are being utilized - doing work and about 100 servers should do. There should instead concentrate on reducing I/O contention by utilizing Fiber disk arrays and use a multiprocessor machine - perhaps SGI/Cray. This is an administrator's nightmare - I bet there's no backup being done. What a waste!
