Agreed.

He probably could consolidate his hardware into more robust machine(s) in regards to processing, memory, and storage. However, there are a number of these guys floating around that prefer doing these lower end box "clusters" for lack of better word. I suppose it all depends on what he is up to.

He really should find a solid company who is needs based, reviews his actual uses, and provides a solid long term solution. Which sounds like it could be a custom hardware set up. While it can be a hassle and ties you into one carrier (as you can't easily hop around). It can be advantageous in both performance, management, and cost cutting.
