Well lets see 32 cpus across 6 partitions - so an average of 5.3 pentiums per domain. Now standard NT doesnt allow you to maintain an image of the OS across multiple partitions correct? so these extra domains function as a hot backup. The scalabity of NT across those 5.3 pentiums is suspect as well but i guess if 5.3 pentiums running windows NT is their definition of a data center for the purposes of a press release so be it. I found it also interesting that a server consolidaton from smaller machines to larger machines as well as a thin client approach were mentioned - these terms sound vaguely familiar!
