Imagine someone inventing an Intel server with enough power and features so that all the applications run by a corporation could be run on that one Intel server. Would people even want to do that? Or do they like the idea of having separate server instances because it permits a certain relaxation of the discipline required to manage a single server instance (such as was needed in the mainframe days of old) ?
My guess is people like the concept of having single-purposed servers. The downside is management and inter-server communication (complexity, overhead).
You're no doubt sitting there thinking ... "This realization just came to you now?"
I'm a slow learner. :-)
