Basically, Ibmpc architecture is for terminals running on mainframe computers. It is extremely inefficient because of many peripherals attached to the motherboards. Since 1998, we have almost all the peripherals run on USB bus.

Thus all servers can be mainframe computer architecture similar to Apple Mac with only cpu, drams and scsi bus. The new computers are mainframe design with only multicore cpus, drams and USB bus(not scsi anymore).

The terabyte servers are raid6 with two small mainframe computers in parallel, similar to netbooks, running multiple hdds. Stored data is distributed by on-demand servers?

The on-demand servers are running many multicored cpus with flash cards for each customer thru 127 USB ports per computer.

Mainframe computers are just super computers with many inputs and outputs. Your desktop connects to the USB bus and can look at each server by its IPv6 address. USB monitor is a netbook in disguise?

USB with 127 ports is better than the 10 ports of cisco switching hubs. Each server can do 127 max of virtual network users. So, in effect on-demand servers replaced cisco hubs? Then on-demand servers are connected to Telco PBX(or cable headends)?

Mainframe severs are more powerful netbooks?
