You know what, I think I will. It's tied into a bunch of different threads, but if I plan it out, it could make a nice series of posts.
It resonates strongly with me because I keep coming across clustered solutions where a single machine with appropriately designed software would work just as well or better.
Clusters have a habit of becoming their own reason for existence. Looking forward to your article. If you need a proofreader I'm game.
