This is a very smart acquisition. From what I saw SeaMicro has a great innovation in the form of their 'virtualize IO.' It is a great idea to share IO of machines in a cluster. They can make big headway by integrating tuned CPU's into those clusters. This is going after the entire stack of an IO bound application.
