It's cool that they were able to do this with two machines, and I don't want to detract from that, but it's probably worth pointing out that a "machine" is not a very useful unit of capacity. These two machines could be dual core i5s or they could be 20 core xeon boxes with hugely varying amounts of memory and storage. Too bad they don't clarify, I'm curious.

Each pair is largely similar to the single pair of machines that the old Pages infrastructure ran on. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r720/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-r720/pd Two Xeon E5-2600s per machine.
