Joseph they are not a single server environment. You cluster them! It
is like saying MySQL or Casandra are single server environments -
combine them all and that would be one hell of a server sites like
Facebook and Dig run off of ;)
As for Fast - try Google's or Amazon's offering - WOW That is some
speed! You'll start to feel like it's running on a cluster of iPhones!
