[dba-SQLServer] [AccessD] A real puzzler

[Arthur Fuller]

JWC,

a) Given that you get the job done, if not optimally, then All Is Well,
sort of. Granted, you have more hardware than I ever imagined owning, and a
larger database than I've ever worked on;

b) Also given that compared to your knowledge of hardware I am a duffer;

I don't understand why so many cores in so relatively few machines is
advantageous. Perhaps that's because my electricity costs are included in
the rent, and thus essentially frree; but that said, I don't get the point
of stacking multiple VMs in one or more boxes, as opposed to creating a
cluster with a large number of boxes all visualized as a single computer.

Maybe I should Google this and learn why this approach is better.
