Mainframe and UNIX systems have typically been scaled up, x86 typically scale out.
Bull Novascale Bullion builds up x86 building blocks designed to allow scale up of x86 apps
Claiming scale up with 2x Bullion 12 Intel Xeon servers is 37% cheaper than 16 x 2 socket blades (mainly due to lower connectivity costs).
A larger server means that peaks and troughs in the load cancel each other out and allow for more efficient use of the resources. Less vMotion so less load on the network. Lower number of VMware and other licences
Basically, this was a presentation to justify buying a larger server over more smaller servers. Didn't really need 60 mins to do this.
