Hi!
What about just the images? They take up a lot of
storage space, and
a lot of bandwidth. How much could be saved just by distributing
those?
'lots of storage space' for images isn't that true, just few
terabytes. they're pretty easily cached, and often live outside our
datacenter. so, not much could be saved. when we buy servers, we
usually end up buying application and db boxen, which are used to
produce the dynamic content.
You seem to be coming at the problem with a defeatist
attitude. With
that attitude yes, it is impossible.
"defeatist" and "realist" don't have that much of differences in
letters.
maybe I've spent too much time in industry :( I should try some
liberal arts, gardening, quantum physics, and then return to systems
with fresh insights.
say... we have lots of flowers.... :)
