I've personally found that one computer is substantially easier to keep an eye on than many computers.

- JohnBooty 4y agoYeah. And a lot of businesses just don't need the high availability that a cluster of lesser boxen can provide. If they need to have a few hours of downtime each month to install patches on the one-and-only Big Ass Server, that's not necessarily a problem. Oh, and even an idiot can admin the thing. (Not a literal idiot, but it's about the simplest admin experience possible) I honestly think a lot of businesses would honestly be better off with this kind of simplified "scale up" architecture. The downsides are clear and it's not the right fit for everything, obviously. But I see the IT world defaulting to these complicated 95384-piece AWS instances "Because that's how Netflix does it" or whatever and it's like... you're not Netflix and hardly anybody is.
