... Wikimedia Labs uses x86 hardware virtualization (just one example)
How does that tie us to x86? http://www.eweek.com/servers/arm-server-chips-get-xen-virtualization-support...
... a conservative $200/server estimate
I have been recommending hardware which costs closer to $70 per "server" depending on storage and cache architecture options.
"How does that tie us to x86?"
We don't use Xen, nor is that guaranteed to give us acceptable performance.
"closer to $70"
Please justify that claim (that would be the cost of the CPU or hard disk alone). You haven't even given us a compelling reason to spend any money at all on this.
