Good points Mike.
Thanks for the reminder about 2-tier vs 3-tier.

On i, we can scale up the DB and app server together,
within the same partition. When they are together it is
called a 2-tier solution. (The user GUI is the other tier.)
Our largest 2-tier PRD system I know of is a 40 way P6.

Windows will split the DB server and app server out to
separate boxes rather quickly - using 8 or less cores
max on any one box. This is 3-tier... DB / APP / GUI.
For SAP's data warehouse app, they often even split the
DB across separate boxes for performance.

So - for our 40way example, they'd use at least 5
different servers to do what one of ours does.
If there's HA - then it's >=10 of theirs vs 2 i's.
