Having looked at superspeedyservers.com I'm left thinking mainly two things, which I put down in short here:
The business side may be lacking some things.
For example:
There are many competitors in this space. What is the added value to a customer? The stated goal ('serve the big data market ... process big data workloads') seems ill defined.
Leaving the business side for a moment. How well is the technical side thought through? Which technical problems would these servers solve? I thought the problems would be lying in people's (sometimes mediocre or badly-suited) software stack or algorithms.
Note that though I am a software engineer, I'm not an expert on any kind of large-scale systems, nor am I a founder of anything.
