i5 server farm RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

A server farm is a server farm, isn't it?
If one has to have multiple servers in their server farm (like a 520 to 
run WAS, a 570 to run backend, etc) it's still a server farm.  Is having 
WAS run on a 520 that much better than a Linux or Windows box?

But some applications do make sense, sadly enough, for the server farm 
versus the central system.  Took us a goodly amount of time to get rid of 
the 720 running EDI only and put it on the production box.  The tiered 
pricing on that was painful!  But now we've got extra i5/os licences up 
the wazoo.

And, if you are doing any sort of a HA solution, you'll probably have some 
sort of server farm anyway.
