I appreciate the post but might I add that I find it a little odd that you’re comparing Facebook to 1&1 and Rackspace with regards to numbers of servers. It just seems a little odd to me. It’s like comparing a billionaire businessman who has 25 homes around the world to a real-estate company who own 30 homes and rent them out – completely unrelated really.

An impressive figure none the less.
