One of many. As you stated earlier the X-servers are pathetic... only allow scalability, hot swap, terabytes of data handling when clustered, capable of being building blocks for some of the most powerful (and cheapest) supercomputers in the world with X-grid and other tech but you know better... I was just irritated enough to spend 10 minutes doing a search and found plenty of data supporting the use of one or more X-servers at all levels...

As I'm not an apologist for Apple, I only mention this in passing because your earlier remark about Apple tech was wrong but since you obviously know better then believe what you like... I just remembered that their server tech was being used and at high levels so I checked for information before commenting... and yes, X-servers aren't the only game in the ballpark but they are considered serious contenders by MIT, Japanese earthquake studies groups (X-serve cluster supercomputer) and many others... and no, I won't provide links because if you want them then do a simple search... something like "OS-X server supercomputers"
